DIY and asbestos

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Maltman's Hill properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about garages in a row or block and concrete-panel garages.
Garages around Maltman's Hill may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
After we’ve finished in Maltman's Hill
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
After we have finished:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Common materials
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How many samples are needed
- Parking and access charges
Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
