The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- Access to the area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Duty holders and landlords in RH9
If your business premises in RH9 were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.
RH9 questions
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
- 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
