About our asbestos garage roof removal in Scarborough
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about pieces of broken roof and garage blocks.
In towns and villages like Scarborough, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Options to consider in Scarborough
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Duty holders and landlords in Scarborough
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Scarborough questions
Do you cover Scarborough from London?
We cover Scarborough, about 27 miles from central London.
My garage in Scarborough has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
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.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
