Asbestos garage roof removal in Stanmore
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. From old, cracked sheets and garages being knocked down, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In Stanmore, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Stanmore is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park

Stanmore questions
How far is Stanmore from London?
Stanmore is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes. Winchester station is about 1.2 miles north-east of Stanmore, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you cover Stanmore?
We do: Stanmore is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
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.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.

Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- 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
