About our asbestos garage roof removal in Underling Green
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and garages due for demolition, including bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In places like Underling Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Once we are done:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside

Options to consider in Underling Green
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Underling Green by about 3:50pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- 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
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear the way to the work area
How to get a quote
