Asbestos garage roof removal for Awbridge properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include single garages and old, cracked sheets, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In places like Awbridge, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Awbridge
Do you cover Awbridge and the area around Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?
Yes. Mottisfont & Dunbridge station is about 1.5 miles north of Awbridge, and we cover both.
Could my house in Awbridge contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Awbridge can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Awbridge
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Carport roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Single garages
- Concrete-panel garages
Around Emer Bog and Baddesley Common, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
