Asbestos garage roof removal for Horsleys Green
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
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.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Horsleys Green
Many garages built before 2000, in Horsleys Green and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From carport roofs and double garages, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a village like Horsleys Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access

- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Typical garage roof jobs in Horsleys Green
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages due for demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Block garages
- Single garages
Near open spaces such as Yoesden, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- If the price includes VAT
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Horsleys Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Horsleys Green questions
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes. Saunderton station is about 2.6 miles north-east of Horsleys Green, and we cover both.
Could my house in Horsleys Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Horsleys Green can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
