How asbestos garage roof removal works in Pitch Green
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and garages due for demolition, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In a village like Pitch Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-to roofs
- Double garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
Across Pitch Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Questions from Pitch Green
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Pitch Green homes?
Any home in Pitch Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- An idea of size
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Every job is quoted in writing. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details, including any survey or test you already have.

If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
