What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
