Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Brookgreen, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
FAQs for Brookgreen
Do you come out to small villages like Brookgreen?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Brookgreen have asbestos?
Any home in Brookgreen built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
What we deal with in Brookgreen
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Brookgreen include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-tos and carports
- Double garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Properties near Westover Down may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The scope of the job, in writing
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Suitable insurance for the work
Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
How we work in Brookgreen
- Domestic and commercial work
- Accredited laboratory results
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Reports and results you can share
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
