Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
What happens
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Late-December sunset in Park Gate is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material

Park Gate: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Park Gate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Park Gate typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
A few practical points:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
