How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hollybushes
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include single garages and block garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Hollybushes, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Hollybushes
How far is Hollybushes from London?
We cover Hollybushes, about 39 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Hollybushes homes?
If your home in Hollybushes was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
