DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.

Typical garage roof jobs in Rowhook
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
- Double garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Near open spaces such as Warnham LNR, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.

Common questions in Rowhook
How far is Rowhook from London?
We cover Rowhook, about 31 miles from central London.
My garage in Rowhook has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in Rowhook?
Yes, Rowhook is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What happens next
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Rowhook, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
