About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ibworth
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. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and garages in a row or block, involving bargeboards, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In a village like Ibworth, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ibworth
Is asbestos common in Ibworth homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Ibworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How can I get a price?

Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Let us know where we can park

Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
