How asbestos garage roof removal works in Filmore Hill
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Common materials are downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garages due for demolition and lean-tos and carports.
In a village like Filmore Hill, 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.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Helpful guides
What happens next
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Filmore Hill: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Filmore Hill from London?
Filmore Hill is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
