How asbestos garage roof removal works in MK13
Garage roof removal in MK13 usually includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The category of work
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal.

Duty holders and landlords in MK13
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Your questions about garage roof removal in MK13
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
