Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Hodsoll Street properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are block garages and garages due a new roof.
In a village like Hodsoll Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Hodsoll Street
My garage in Hodsoll Street has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Hodsoll Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
