About asbestos garage roof removal in BN18
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around BN18. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and roofs to clear before demolition, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
What you will pay
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork.

For businesses and landlords in BN18
If your business premises in BN18 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garage conversions
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Single and double garage roofs
Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

BN18 questions
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in BN18?
Yes, we do: our area includes BN18 and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
