Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Millwall
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 corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and sheet garages.
In Millwall, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Millwall
Is asbestos common in Millwall homes?
Any home in Millwall built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you work in Millwall with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
