Doing it yourself?

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.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Step by step

On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Rock-a-Nore by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
We quote and book a date around your roofer
The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

Preparing for the visit
