DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Oad Street
Do you cover small places like Oad Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Oad Street from London?
Oad Street is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.

- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

- Clear advice on your options
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you. In December, it’s dark in Oad Street by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
