What happens to the old roof sheets?

Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is my garage roof in Shirrell Heath asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After the job
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
Choosing the right option
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.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Accredited laboratory results
- Waste paperwork for every removal

What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Hampshire.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Block garages
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Lean-tos and carports
If you are a landlord with garages near Botley station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
