About asbestos garage roof removal in SL9
Many garages built before 2000, in SL9 and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and concrete-panel garages.
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near.

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area
- Travel and parking
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A picture of the whole area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- The parking area
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Which option is right?
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork.

What we deal with in SL9
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Concrete-panel garages
Materials, one by one

Your questions about garage roof removal in SL9
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
