How asbestos garage roof removal works in Brackenbury Village
Removing cement roof sheets is typically 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 concrete-panel garages and storm-damaged sheets, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In Brackenbury Village, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Brackenbury Village
My garage in Brackenbury Village has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Brackenbury Village have asbestos?
If your home in Brackenbury Village was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
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; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
