About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hedgerley Green
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and garage conversions, we cover cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
In places like Hedgerley Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Typical garage roof jobs in Hedgerley Green
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Slough.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
Older houses in Hedgerley Green, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After we have finished:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Hedgerley Green by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Keep children and pets away on the day

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Hedgerley Green: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Hedgerley Green homes?
Any home in Hedgerley Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Gerrards Cross station?
Yes. Gerrards Cross station is about 1.6 miles east of Hedgerley Green, and we cover both.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
