How asbestos garage roof removal works in Headley Down
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Homes in places like Headley Down often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Headley Down
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Headley Down have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Headley Down?
We do: Headley Down is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Why people call us in Headley Down

If you let a house with a garage near Liphook station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

- The method and controls

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
