Asbestos garage roof removal for America Ground properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about block garages and carport roofs.
In towns and villages like America Ground, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which areas and materials are covered
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If your business premises in America Ground were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

America Ground questions
Do you work near Hastings station?
Yes, we cover America Ground, including the streets around Hastings station.
How far is America Ground from London?
We cover America Ground, about 53 miles from central London.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How do I get a quote?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
