Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Questions from Plastow Green
Do you cover small places like Plastow Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Plastow Green from London?
Plastow Green is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
