How asbestos garage roof removal works in Bodicote
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and lean-tos and carports, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
Homes in towns and villages like Bodicote often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
What we do and don’t cover
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Bodicote
- Fixings and bolts

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After we’ve finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Bodicote is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:30pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move things out of the way carefully

Helpful guides
Questions from Bodicote
Is asbestos common in Bodicote homes?
If your home in Bodicote was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Bodicote has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.

Options to consider in Bodicote
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
