DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. We plan garage roof jobs in Salden for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Salden
Do you cover Salden and the area around Bletchley station?
Yes, we cover Salden and the area towards Bletchley station, about 3.7 miles north-east.
Could my house in Salden contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Salden may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.

The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
