Asbestos garage roof removal in Skeete
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Skeete
If you are not sure your garage roof in Skeete is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are single garages and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Rural garages near Skeete are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Why choose us
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Across London and the South East
See how we price jobs or the cost guide.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

FAQs for Skeete
My garage in Skeete 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Skeete?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Is my garage roof in Skeete 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.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
