Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The parking area
- The access route
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 to get started.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Weighing up your options

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If your business premises in Potter's Green were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Common questions in Potter's Green
Do you work on properties in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Potter's Green from London?
We cover Potter's Green, about 37 miles from central London.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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 come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
