How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ravenstone
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and lean-to roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Ravenstone may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ravenstone
Do you come out to small villages like Ravenstone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Ravenstone 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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Ravenstone, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What affects the price in Ravenstone
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Disposal costs
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Photos that help
