Asbestos garage roof removal near Friday Street
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages due a new roof.
In places like Friday Street, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Friday Street
Do older homes in Friday Street have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Friday Street can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Friday Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards.
