Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and prefab garages with cement walls.

Questions from Inkpen
Do you cover Inkpen from London?
Inkpen is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Inkpen?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The type of material and its condition
- The survey scope
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Travel and parking
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- Street parking nearby
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The access route
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
