A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Doing it yourself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
- A close-up from a safe distance
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If your business premises in Sandwich were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Common questions in Sandwich
Do you cover Sandwich from London?
Sandwich is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Sandwich and the area around Sandwich station?
Yes. Sandwich station is close to the centre of Sandwich, and we cover the whole area.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
