How asbestos garage roof removal works in Godstow
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 garages before a new roof or conversion and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Rural garages near Godstow are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
