Asbestos garage roof removal for Stansted
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Stansted
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about pieces of broken roof and garages due a new roof.
Garages around Stansted may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Duty holders and landlords in Stansted
If your business premises in Stansted were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheet garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you are a landlord with garages near Borough Green & Wrotham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

- What paperwork you get
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note

What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
