Duty holders and landlords in Acton Green
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Acton Green
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Acton Green:
- Single garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Across Acton Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Where we could park

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Questions from Acton Green
Do older homes in Acton Green have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Acton Green may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Acton Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. Parking close by makes the day easier. We plan garage roof jobs in Acton Green for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Make sure we can get to the area
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
