What else we do in East Boldre
What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Duty holders and landlords in East Boldre
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in East Boldre were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
How we work
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. At the end, we tell you what was done and what happens next. In December, it’s dark in East Boldre by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the work area
- Tell us about parking and access
- Dig out previous surveys

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

East Boldre questions
Do you cover small places like East Boldre?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in East Boldre has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
