Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Nuffield
Is asbestos common in Nuffield homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Nuffield usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
