How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mop End
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In areas like Mop End, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Common questions in Mop End
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
My garage in Mop End has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Mop End were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
