Asbestos garage roof removal for Cold Brayfield
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Cold Brayfield
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 corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about broken sheets after high winds and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In towns and villages like Cold Brayfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Cold Brayfield: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Cold Brayfield typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Cold Brayfield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What we deal with in Cold Brayfield
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due for demolition
Around Pavenham Osier Beds, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
