Asbestos garage roof removal near Chelwood Gate
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Chelwood Gate is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks, we deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In a village like Chelwood Gate, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Book your roofer in advance

- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
Typical garage roof jobs in Chelwood Gate
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
- Single and double garage roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
Around Brickfield Meadow, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.

Questions from Chelwood Gate
Is asbestos common in Chelwood Gate homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.

Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
