Asbestos garage roof removal for Northbridge Street properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about broken sheets after high winds and roofs to clear before demolition.
In places like Northbridge Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options

Questions from Northbridge Street
My garage in Northbridge Street has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Northbridge Street homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Northbridge Street may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- How much there is
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
