Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A picture of the whole area
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear written quotes
- Covering London and the South East
Read how we quote and the cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels

Common questions in Lessness Heath
My garage in Lessness Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Lessness Heath have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work in Lessness Heath?
Yes, Lessness Heath is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
