Asbestos garage roof removal in Viables
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From old, cracked sheets and garages in a row or block, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In places like Viables, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Viables
Do you cover Viables and the area around Basingstoke station?
Yes, we cover Viables and the area towards Basingstoke station, about 1.3 miles north.
Are garage roofs in Viables generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The type of material and its condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- How much waste there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park
Not sure what you need? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Across London and the South East
- Houses, flats and business premises
See our prices page or our cost guide.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
