Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Mill End, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Mill End: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Mill End from London?
Mill End is about 33 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Why people call us in Mill End
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.

- Double garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If you’re a landlord with garages near Henley-On-Thames station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
