How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ellen's Green
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and concrete-panel garages, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Ellen's Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ellen's Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Questions from Ellen's Green
How far is Ellen's Green from London?
Ellen's Green is about 30 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Ellen's Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Ellen's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
