About our asbestos garage roof removal in Rowner
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. We often deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about lean-to roofs and sheet garages.
In a smaller place like Rowner, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions to ask before you book
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Whether VAT is included

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
