When Should You Replace Your Asbestos Garage Roof?
You should find a licensed contractor to replace your asbestos garage roof when the asbestos panels begin to deteriorate or show signs of damage such as splits or cracks.
This is because asbestos garage roofs pose the greatest risk when they are damaged. When damaged, the harmful asbestos fibres inside of the roofing panels become airborne and are then breathed into the lungs.
Unfortunately, if your asbestos roof is old, leaking or damaged, it’s going to be very difficult to undertake repairs without amplifying the harmful effects of asbestos. That is why it is recommended to have it replaced as soon as possible with a safe alternative.
Know The Signs
Visible damage such as splits, cracks and even garage roof leaks are signs that it is time to replace your asbestos garage roof.
Understand the Risks
When damaged, asbestos garage roofs release harmful fibres into the air. Avoid disturbing your garage roof whenver possible to mitigate its effects.
Take Precautions
Avoid using your garage during bad weather such as high winds or storms and take care when moving contents around the garage.

What Type of Asbestos is Found in UK Garage Roofs?
The most common type of asbestos found in UK garage roofs contain around 15% white asbestos. Unlike brown and blue asbestos, which release needle shaped fibres (amphibole), white, chrysotile asbestos releases curly fibres (serpentine) which makes them less likely to penetrate the lung tissue.
Whilst the risks are lower than its counterparts, the asbestos in your garage roof still poses long-term health risks.

The asbestos fibres inside your garage roof do not decompose and so remain lodged inhaled into the lungs once released. Breathing in asbestos fibres may lead to long-term health risks and diseases such as asbestosis or mesothelioma.

Since asbestos garage roofs most often contain the white, chrysotile asbestos, this will not impact the cost of your garage roof removal.
In fact, at Danmarque we do not charge extra for asbestos roof replacements vs non-asbestos roofs.
Are There any Safe Types of Asbestos?
No. Whilst some forms of asbestos have a lower health risk (such as the type found in your garage roof), all forms of asbestos are harmful and can lead to long-term health effects.
