Asbestos garage roof removal for Upper Burgate properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Upper Burgate and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and old, cracked sheets.
In a village like Upper Burgate, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we are done:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
