Asbestos garage roof removal in Green Hailey
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In a village like Green Hailey, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Green Hailey
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Are garage roofs in Green Hailey normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
What we deal with in Green Hailey
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Sheet garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
Across Green Hailey, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Green Hailey, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
