Asbestos garage roof removal for Jenkins' Green
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Jenkins' Green
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and garage conversions.
In places like Jenkins' Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Jenkins' Green questions
Do older homes in Jenkins' Green have asbestos?
If your home in Jenkins' Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Jenkins' Green from London?
Jenkins' Green is about 50 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
