Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Across London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
Take a look at how we quote and the cost guide.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Winterbrook
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is asbestos common in Winterbrook homes?
Any home in Winterbrook built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once we are done:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
What we deal with in Winterbrook
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls

If you let a house with a garage near Cholsey station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
