Asbestos garage roof removal across TN23
An old asbestos cement garage roof in TN23 tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and carport roofs, involving bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- 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’ll pay
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Common questions in TN23
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
