Asbestos garage roof removal near Garlinge Green
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garage blocks and storm-damaged sheets, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
In places like Garlinge Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Garlinge Green, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once we’re done:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Garlinge Green
Do you cover Garlinge Green from London?
We cover Garlinge Green, about 52 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Garlinge Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
