Asbestos garage roof removal in Thorley
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From garages before a new roof or conversion and garages being knocked down, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
Garages around Thorley may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Thorley is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:05pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Clear the way to the work area

Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
