Asbestos garage roof removal for Dunton
Asbestos garage roof removal for Dunton properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and garage conversions, including ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In a village like Dunton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Dunton
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage conversions
Across Dunton, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- The documents you will receive
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT
- How fibres will be kept down
Questions from Dunton
Do you cover Dunton from London?
Dunton is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Dunton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is my garage roof in Dunton asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
