Garage Roof Removal explained
Garage roofs built from the 1950s to the late 1990s were often made of asbestos cement. Over time the sheets weather, crack, grow moss and start to leak. Breaking them up or jet washing them releases fibres, so they should be taken off whole.
Our team wets and unbolts each sheet, lowers it without breaking it, wraps it in heavy polythene and takes it to a licensed site. We can then fit a new roof in GRP fibreglass, EPDM rubber, box-profile steel or anti-condensation sheets.

Garage Roof Removal questions
Can I remove my own garage roof?
Homeowners can legally remove small amounts of asbestos cement, but it must be done carefully and the waste must go to a site that accepts asbestos. Most people find it quicker, safer and similar in cost to have it done.
How long does it take?
Most single garages take one day including a new roof.
Do I need a survey first?
Not usually. We can test a sample if you are unsure whether it is asbestos.
What roof do you recommend?
GRP fibreglass for flat-ish roofs, and anti-condensation steel sheets for pitched roofs or when the garage is used as a workshop.
