How asbestos garage roof removal works in SL0
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Cost

Iver Heath: Around Kingcup Meadows and Oldhouse Wood, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together. If you’re a landlord with garages near Iver station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
- If the price includes VAT
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in SL0, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Your questions about garage roof removal in SL0
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
