Asbestos garage roof removal for Town Row
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Town Row
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In places like Town Row, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Questions from Town Row
Do you come out to small villages like Town Row?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Town Row homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
