Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages in a row or block
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Denham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

FAQs for Harefield
Do older homes in Harefield have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Harefield can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Harefield has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
After we’ve finished in Harefield
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
