Asbestos garage roof removal near Guestling Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Guestling Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From brittle, leaking roofs and garage blocks, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Garages around Guestling Green may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Guestling Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What we do and do not cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
Near open spaces such as Church Wood and Robsack Wood, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
What your quote should include
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the job needs notifying
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
