Asbestos garage roof removal near Farleigh Green
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From old, cracked sheets and lean-tos and carports, we deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Rural garages near Farleigh Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Typical garage roof jobs in Farleigh Green
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages due for demolition
Older houses in Farleigh Green, near All Saints Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Questions from Farleigh Green
Do you cover small places like Farleigh Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Farleigh Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Farleigh 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.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

After the job
