Asbestos garage roof removal for St George in the East
Asbestos garage roof removal near St George in the East
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around St George in the East. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about block garages and old, cracked sheets.
In St George in the East, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Duty holders and landlords in St George in the East
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in St George in the East must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.

Generally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
