Asbestos garage roof removal in Godstone
Asbestos garage roof removal for Godstone properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and single garages, including bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Godstone are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Godstone
Do you cover small places like Godstone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Godstone normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
