About our asbestos garage roof removal in Great Haseley
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. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and garages due for demolition, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Great Haseley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Great Haseley
Are garage roofs in Great Haseley typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Great Haseley have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Great Haseley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is my garage roof in Great Haseley asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Parking close by makes the day easier. Late-December sunset in Great Haseley is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Helpful guides
After the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Great Haseley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The survey scope
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
