How asbestos garage roof removal works in Guilton
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and sheet garages, including downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Guilton may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Clear written quotes
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Domestic and commercial work

Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
