Asbestos garage roof removal for Lychpit properties
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 storm-damaged sheets and garages being knocked down, including downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In areas like Lychpit, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that is needed.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- How easy it is to reach
- Disposal costs
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Material and condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

How it works
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Lychpit by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.

Lychpit questions
Is asbestos common in Lychpit homes?
Any home in Lychpit built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Lychpit usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
