Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.

These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.

Questions from Hambledon
Are garage roofs in Hambledon typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Hambledon 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 Hambledon can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

- The type of material and its condition
