Asbestos garage roof removal near Forge Wood
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From lean-to roofs and old, cracked sheets, we deal with bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces and more.
Homes in places like Forge Wood often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
