Asbestos garage roof removal near Upper Hale
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Upper Hale
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and lean-to roofs, including downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a smaller place like Upper Hale, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Are garage roofs in Upper Hale usually asbestos?

What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
