How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bellingham
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. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and prefab garages with cement walls, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes.
In Bellingham, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bellingham
My garage in Bellingham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you work in Bellingham with London’s parking rules?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
