How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hethe
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Hethe is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From lean-to roofs and garages being knocked down, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In places like Hethe, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How we work
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Late-December sunset in Hethe is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We check it’s asbestos cement

Preparing for the visit

Hethe questions
How far is Hethe from London?
Hethe is about 55 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Hethe and the area around Bicester North station?
Yes, we cover Hethe and the area towards Bicester North station, about 4 miles south.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
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.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Options to consider in Hethe
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Records for your files
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Identify first, remove only when needed
