Asbestos garage roof removal for Maplehurst
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Common questions in Maplehurst
Do you cover small places like Maplehurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Maplehurst from London?
Maplehurst is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Maplehurst asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
