About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ramsden
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and pieces of broken roof.
In areas like Ramsden, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Ramsden
Could my house in Ramsden contain asbestos?
Any home in Ramsden built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ramsden from London?
Ramsden is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Ramsden
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Ramsden, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
