Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Different materials need a different approach
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
After we have finished in Brent Cross
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Approximate dimensions
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Brent Cross questions
Do you work in Brent Cross despite London parking restrictions?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Is asbestos common in Brent Cross homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Brent Cross?
We do: Brent Cross is within the area we cover in Greater London. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
