Landlords, managing agents and employers

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. We plan garage roof jobs in Grimsbury for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:30pm.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Grimsbury
How far is Grimsbury from London?
Grimsbury is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Grimsbury contain asbestos?
Any home in Grimsbury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is my garage roof in Grimsbury asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Materials, one by one

Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Roof felt

What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- High winds can delay roof work
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
What we deal with
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets

Doing it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
