Asbestos garage roof removal for Ashmansworth properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Ashmansworth. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From block garages and garages being knocked down, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a village like Ashmansworth, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Questions from Ashmansworth
Do you come out to small villages like Ashmansworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Ashmansworth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Ashmansworth, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Ashmansworth by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
Older houses in Ashmansworth, near Church of St James or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The method and controls
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the job needs notifying
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
