How asbestos garage roof removal works in Rookley 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. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and lean-tos and carports.
In towns and villages like Rookley Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What happens next
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Do you cover small places like Rookley Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
