What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.

Your questions about garage roof removal in South Heath
How far is South Heath from London?
We cover South Heath, about 29 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
