Asbestos garage roof removal near Henhurst
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. People often contact us about garages in a row or block and garages being knocked down, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In a village like Henhurst, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Prices and what affects them
Our quotes take into account:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Access to the area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
For a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are some of the things we deal with in Henhurst:
- Single garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Pieces of broken roof
In Henhurst, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before booking anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Henhurst: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Henhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Henhurst has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
