Asbestos garage roof removal for Goddards Green
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Goddards Green
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Goddards Green. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From double garages and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
In a village like Goddards Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Questions from Goddards Green
Do you come out to small villages like Goddards Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Goddards Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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 aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in Goddards Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Goddards Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

What else we do in Goddards Green
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Goddards Green
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage conversions
Around Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Step by step
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Goddards Green by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the way to the work area
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Let us know where we can park
