Asbestos garage roof removal in St Margarets
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Should you do 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, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in St Margarets
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Questions from St Margarets
Do older homes in St Margarets have asbestos?
Any home in St Margarets 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.
Are garage roofs in St Margarets typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
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 asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
