Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages due a new roof
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
Properties near Warburg Nature Reserve may have outbuildings as well as a garage.
Questions to ask before booking
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Cookley Green questions
Do older homes in Cookley Green have asbestos?
If your home in Cookley Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Cookley Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
