02 / How it works

From photos to a new roof

  1. Send photos

    Postcode and a few photos of the roof from the ground. No survey visit needed to start. Do not climb up or touch the sheets.

  2. We review them

    You hear what the roof looks like and what the job involves. Cement sheeting is normally treated as asbestos; a small sample is only taken if there is real doubt.

  3. Price agreed

    The contractor inspects the garage and quotes removal and the new roof together, in writing.

  4. Roof off, new roof on

    Sheets removed and wrapped, waste taken away with the paperwork, and the new steel roof fitted.

03 / Start with photos

Not sure what you have? Just send us pictures.

Photos are often enough to see what a garage roof is and what the job involves. If there is real doubt, a small sample settles it.

  • Take pictures of the whole garage and the roof edge
  • Do not climb on, touch, drill or clean the roof
  • Add postcode and garage size on the form
Example enquiry
Single garage, Liverpool. Old corrugated roof, starting to leak. Is it asbestos?
That looks like corrugated cement sheeting, which is normally treated as asbestos. Please do not touch the roof. If there is real doubt, a small sample settles it.
And if it is?
Then the roof is removed and a new steel roof fitted, priced together once the job has been inspected.

07 / Questions

Asbestos garage roofs, answered

How do I know if my garage roof has asbestos?
Garage roofs built before 2000 with corrugated cement-style sheets are normally treated as asbestos, and photos are often enough to see what you have. Only a laboratory sample can confirm it for certain, which is useful if there is real doubt. Do not drill, break or scrub the sheets.
Can the old roof come off and a new steel roof go on in one job?
Yes. This is a common job. The old sheets are removed and disposed of as hazardous waste and a new roof is fitted, often within a day or two for a single garage.
How much does it cost?
UK firms commonly quote around £600 to £1,000 for removal only on a single garage and £2,000 to £3,500 for removal and a new steel roof. These are guide ranges, not a quote, and the real price is only firm after the roof is tested and the job inspected.
Is asbestos garage roof removal licensed work?
Careful removal of asbestos cement sheets without breaking them is normally non-licensed work. If sheets break up a lot it can become notifiable non-licensed work, and damaged or crumbling material can need a licensed contractor.
Can I do it myself?
Householders are not directly covered by the regulations, but it is strongly advised against. Breaking or drilling sheets releases fibres, and the waste needs a permitted disposal site. Most owners hire it out.
Where does the asbestos waste go?
It is wrapped and labelled, carried by a registered waste carrier and taken to a permitted disposal site, with paperwork recording where it went.
What if the roof is not asbestos?
Then it is an ordinary re-roofing job and an ordinary roofer can do it, usually for less. That is why testing comes first.
