Asbestos Garage Removal Moortown

Moortown's 1930s Garages Were Built for the Car, and Often Roofed With Asbestos

Moortown developed predominantly in the inter-war period, and its large detached and semi-detached houses on the tree-lined streets of LS17 were among the first generation of suburban homes designed with garages as a standard feature. Many of those garages were built in the 1930s–50s with brick or block walls and asbestos cement sheet roofs, at the time a premium, durable material. Today those same asbestos cement sheets are 70–90 years old and increasingly at an age where professional removal is the responsible course of action.

Moortown is one of the areas where we most frequently see garages that were re-roofed in the 1960s–70s, original 1930s structures whose first roof was replaced and asbestos cement was chosen for the re-roof. This creates a situation where the visible material is asbestos cement but the underlying original roof may contain additional materials beneath it. Our site assessment identifies the full scope of materials to be removed before work begins.

Converting Garages in Moortown, Removal Before Conversion

Moortown's large 1930s garages are a popular conversion target, particularly for home offices, studios, gyms, or additional living space. Before any conversion work can begin, the asbestos cement roof must be professionally removed and the site documented as compliant. We work closely with builders, architects, and homeowners in LS17 on garage conversion projects, providing the asbestos removal and documentation that is required before the main contractor can start.

We also handle roof-only replacements where the garage is to remain in use as a garage. In this case, we remove the asbestos cement sheets, leaving the walls and base intact, so your builder can construct a new modern roof without any asbestos removal work on their side.

Moortown Garage Removal Costs

Single-garage roof removal in Moortown starts from approximately £450, with full dismantles from £700, slightly higher than some areas due to the larger average garage size in LS17. For double garages or structures with complex rooflines, the site assessment will determine the exact scope and fixed price. All quotes include labour, transport, and legal disposal.
