Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
- How many samples are needed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you run a business from older premises in New Barnet, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
New Barnet questions
Do you work in New Barnet despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
My garage in New Barnet has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in New Barnet by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Helpful guides
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What we do and do not cover
Worth knowing before you book:
