Read moreCareful, controlled and documented
Asbestos cement is only a risk when it is broken. Good removal is about keeping the sheets whole and the dust down.
Is my garage roof asbestos?
Three quick questions give you a rough idea. Only a laboratory test is certain, but age and look tell you a lot.
- Built before 2000 is a warning sign
- Grey corrugated cement sheets are the usual type
- Never drill, sand or break the sheets to find out
Replace the roof once, and make it solar-ready
Solar panels are never fixed to asbestos cement. Once the old roof has gone, a new roof can carry panels that cut the electricity you buy for the car, the workshop or the house.

Short answers to what Greater Manchester garage owners ask most.
Is my garage roof asbestos?
You cannot tell by looking. Corrugated cement sheeting on a garage built before 2000 is normally treated as asbestos, and a small sample analysed by a laboratory is the only certain way to know.
How much does asbestos garage roof removal cost in Manchester?
UK firms commonly quote in the region of £600 to £1,000 for removing a single garage roof, and £2,000 to £3,500 for removal plus a new roof. Final prices depend on size, access and condition. See the cost guide.
Can you replace the roof as well as remove the old one?
Yes. Removal and a new roof are normally done as one job, which is quicker and avoids leaving the garage open to the weather.
Can solar panels go on my new garage roof?
Yes, once the asbestos roof has gone. Panels are never fixed to asbestos cement. Tell us you are interested in solar and the new roof can be planned for it.
Which areas do you cover?
Manchester, Salford, Bolton, Bury, Stockport, Oldham, Wigan, Rochdale and Trafford, with their surrounding towns.
Can I remove the roof myself?
A householder is not covered by the main regulations, but HSE advises against it, and most Greater Manchester household tips refuse asbestos. Most owners hire a contractor.
How long does a garage roof job take?
A single garage is usually a day or two on site once the work is booked and the roof confirmed.
What do I need to send for a quote?
Your name, phone number, postcode and a few photos of the garage and its roof from the ground. Please do not climb on or touch the roof.
