Duty holders and landlords in Haslar
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Haslar
Do you come out to small villages like Haslar?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Haslar homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
