Asbestos garage roof removal near Noke Common
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garages due a new roof and garages being knocked down, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Noke Common, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
What we deal with in Noke Common
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage conversions
- Garages due for demolition
Older houses in Noke Common, near Church of St. John the Baptist or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

- Work done to the regulations
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.

Common questions in Noke Common
Do you come out to small villages like Noke Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Noke Common has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
