How asbestos garage roof removal works in Iden Green
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and roofs to clear before demolition, including cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In a village like Iden Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Iden Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

FAQs for Iden Green
Do you come out to small villages like Iden Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Are garage roofs in Iden Green usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in Iden Green?
We do: our area includes Iden Green and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
