Asbestos garage roof removal near Boreham Street
FAQs for Boreham Street
Is asbestos common in Boreham Street homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Boreham Street may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Boreham Street generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.

What else we do in Boreham Street
Doing it yourself?

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Boreham Street, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Boreham Street
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Single garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Carport roofs
If you’re a landlord with garages near Normans Bay station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone

- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Suitable insurance for the work
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
