About our asbestos garage roof removal in Roke
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Whether it’s carport roofs and garage conversions, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In places like Roke, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you run a business from older premises in Roke, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, 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.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes

- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Sheet garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-tos and carports
In Roke, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
What your quote should include

Roke questions
How far is Roke from London?
We cover Roke, about 44 miles from central London.
My garage in Roke has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- How many samples are needed
- The category of work
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
Photo tips:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- An idea of size
- A picture of the whole area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
