Asbestos garage roof removal near Dean Street
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 gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about old, cracked sheets and garages in a row or block.
In places like Dean Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Dean Street
Are garage roofs in Dean Street typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Dean Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
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 always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
