- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Rhodes Minnis must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Rhodes Minnis, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Materials, one by one

Questions from Rhodes Minnis
Are garage roofs in Rhodes Minnis generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Rhodes Minnis from London?
We cover Rhodes Minnis, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
