Roof removal or full structure
Roof only
The walls and frame remain in place for a replacement roof. This is covered under asbestos garage roof removal, which includes shed roofs.
Full structure
The roof, walls and frame are all dismantled. This is what is usually meant by asbestos garage demolition.
What an asbestos garage is made of
Most are asbestos cement, with grey corrugated sheets on the roof and flat panels on the walls, bolted to a timber, steel or block frame.
Asbestos cement cannot always be identified by eye. A garage built after 2000 is unlikely to contain asbestos.
Intact, undisturbed sheets carry an extremely low risk. The harm comes from fibres released into the air and breathed in.
Removal or encapsulation
- Intact sheets
- Intact sheets that are not being drilled or cut can remain in place.
- Encapsulation
- A weathered roof that is still intact can be encapsulated.
- Removal
- Removal is the usual course where the garage is being demolished, or the sheets are cracked or disturbed.
- Not sure
- A photo on WhatsApp is usually enough for us to advise on the right option.
What the removal covers
- Corrugated or flat roof sheets.
- Wall panels and gable ends.
- Cement gutters and downpipes.
- The timber, steel or block frame.
Where the sheets are already down, collection on its own costs less.

Removal and disposal
The material is taken to an approved waste transfer site, and you receive the consignment note.
A garage, before and after
A garage taken down completely, its roof sheets wrapped and taken away, and the plot left as a clear concrete base.
What moves the price of a whole garage
- Size. A single garage is a different job from a double.
- Condition. Cracked or disturbed sheets take longer than intact ones.
- Access. Parking distance, and whether everything passes through a side gate.
- Scope. Roof and walls only, or the frame as well.
- Whether any of the material is already down and stacked.
A photo of the whole building and a postcode are usually enough to provide a quote.

Whole garage questions
Do you take the frame too?
Yes, where the full structure is to be removed. Mention it in your enquiry so the quote covers the complete job. Ask us about the concrete base when you get in touch.
Asbestos garage demolition: what is involved?
We dismantle the full structure, including the frame. The asbestos is bagged or wrapped, and labelled, before it is moved, then taken to an approved waste transfer site.
Can I sell a house with an asbestos garage?
Yes. Your solicitor can advise on what to declare. Where the garage is due to be demolished, we can remove it before the sale.
Can I take it down myself?
We advise against it. A whole garage is a large quantity of sheet to dismantle without cracking it. In Essex it cannot go in your bin, and the council tips in Essex and Thurrock do not accept it. Disposal is covered under asbestos collection and disposal.
