Your questions about garage roof removal in Boldre
Do older homes in Boldre 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.
Do you cover small places like Boldre?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Boldre, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due for demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Block garages
Older houses in Boldre, near Saint Nicholas Chapel or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

What else we do in Boldre
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Options to consider in Boldre
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
