How asbestos garage roof removal works in Upstreet
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and sheet garages.
Garages around Upstreet may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

A closer look at the materials

They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
