Asbestos garage roof removal near Rushlake Green

Rural garages near Rushlake Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Rushlake Green
Are garage roofs in Rushlake Green generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Rushlake Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
