Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Amberley
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and broken sheets after high winds, including downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Amberley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Questions from Amberley
Is asbestos common in Amberley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How far is Amberley from London?
We cover Amberley, about 45 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
