Asbestos garage roof removal near Hogben's Hill
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. From sheet garages and carport roofs, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In places like Hogben's Hill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Hogben's Hill, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you run a business from older premises in Hogben's Hill, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
