Asbestos garage roof removal for Clare Market properties
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. We often deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and sheet garages.
In Clare Market, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

FAQs for Clare Market
Do older homes in Clare Market have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Clare Market may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Clare Market generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A clear close-up
- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
