After we’ve finished in Standlake
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

What we deal with in Standlake
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages being knocked down
- Single and double garage roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Near open spaces such as Hitchcopse Pit, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Before you book anyone
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The method and controls
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Standlake
Do you come out to small villages like Standlake?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Standlake from London?
Standlake is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is my garage roof in Standlake asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
