Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Common questions in Bessels Green
Do you come out to small villages like Bessels Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Bessels Green have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
