Prices and what affects them
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Travel and parking
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Cracks or breaks
Include any existing survey or test when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we are done:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Neames Forstal by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Neames Forstal questions
How far is Neames Forstal from London?
We cover Neames Forstal, about 47 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Neames Forstal generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
