Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
