Should you do 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Questions from Nettlestone
Do you cover small places like Nettlestone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Nettlestone from London?
Nettlestone is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
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, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
