Asbestos garage roof removal in Brading
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and garages due a new roof, including bargeboards, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Brading may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Brading
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
These are some of the things we deal with in Brading:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A3055, tell us about parking and access.
Before booking anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- VAT, clearly stated
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Brading questions
Do you cover small places like Brading?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Brading has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Brading must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Step by step
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in Brading by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
