How asbestos garage roof removal works in Jericho
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are lean-to roofs and garages due for demolition.
In Jericho, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

FAQs for Jericho
Could my house in Jericho contain asbestos?
Any home in Jericho built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 0.5 miles south of Jericho, and we cover both.
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 will advise.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
After we’ve finished in Jericho
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
For businesses and landlords in Jericho
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
