Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes

To avoid problems in future:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards

Rowstock: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Rowstock?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Rowstock from London?
Rowstock is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- Location, parking and any London charges
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Damaged areas
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Rowstock
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Single and double garage roofs
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage blocks
In Rowstock, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What category of work it is
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
