How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Pett by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

Helpful guides
Common questions in Pett
My garage in Pett has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Pett?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you work in Pett?
Yes, Pett is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Disposal costs
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Approximate dimensions
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view
Photos from a safe distance help: send them through our contact page.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
