How asbestos garage roof removal works in Snowdown
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes, and people normally contact us about garages being knocked down and garages in a row or block.
In a village like Snowdown, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work

- Give us a rough size

What to avoid

What it might be made of
