How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mytchett
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Mytchett all have roofs like these. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. We often deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and sheet garages.

Common questions in Mytchett
My garage in Mytchett has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Mytchett from London?
Mytchett is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.

After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
For businesses and landlords in Mytchett
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mytchett must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The scope of garage roof removal
Before booking, note that:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
