A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

Your questions about garage roof removal in Woodstock
My garage in Woodstock has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Woodstock homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Woodstock may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Woodstock is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
