We take them off with the sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Wootton
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and garages being knocked down, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Wootton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Wootton
My garage in Wootton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Wootton have asbestos?
Any home in Wootton 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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- Labels, if any
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in Wootton were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Across London and the South East
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
