Asbestos garage roof removal for Bean
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bean
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Garages around Bean may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- High winds can delay roof work

Bean questions
Do you cover small places like Bean?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Bean from London?
We cover Bean, about 17 miles from central London.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
