About our asbestos garage roof removal in Salehurst
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about carport roofs and pieces of broken roof.
In areas like Salehurst, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

For businesses and landlords in Salehurst
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Salehurst must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Salehurst: your questions answered
Could my house in Salehurst contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Salehurst from London?
Salehurst is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
