For businesses and landlords in Boarhunt
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Boarhunt must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Boarhunt
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include block garages and double garages, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a village like Boarhunt, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Boarhunt: your questions answered
My garage in Boarhunt has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Boarhunt?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Which option is right?
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
