How asbestos garage roof removal works in TN29
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about broken sheets after high winds and lean-to roofs.
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets.
- Describe the garage
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Cost
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Covering London and the South East
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Getting a price

Duty holders and landlords in TN29
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
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.
After we have finished in TN29
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
TN29 questions
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
