How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lashenden
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. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and brittle, leaking roofs, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes.
Garages around Lashenden may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Lashenden, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Lashenden questions
Are garage roofs in Lashenden typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
