Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
- Cracks or breaks
- A photo of the whole area

Stoke Mandeville: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Stoke Mandeville from London?
Stoke Mandeville is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is my garage roof in Stoke Mandeville asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.

Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
