The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us
- Clear written quotes
- Records for your files
- No removal until we know what it is
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.

Questions from Kingston
My garage in Kingston has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Kingston and the area around Fratton station?
Yes. Fratton station is about 0.5 miles south-west of Kingston, and we cover both.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How many samples are needed
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
