Asbestos garage roof removal for Shover's Green properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and single and double garage roofs.
In places like Shover's Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

If your business premises in Shover's Green were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Common questions in Shover's Green
Do you cover Shover's Green and the area around Stonegate station?
Yes, we cover Shover's Green and the area towards Stonegate station, about 2.1 miles south.
Are garage roofs in Shover's Green normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
