Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Slade Green
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. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and garages being knocked down, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces and more.
In Slade Green, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
After we’ve finished in Slade Green
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. Late-December sunset in Slade Green is about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Describe the garage
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- You get the waste paperwork
Getting ready

How to get a quote
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Questions from Slade Green
Could my house in Slade Green contain asbestos?
Any home in Slade Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Slade Green station?
Yes. Slade Green station is close to the centre of Slade Green, and we cover the whole area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
