Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due for demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Single and double garage roofs
- Sheet garages
Around Bernwood Meadows, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

Stanton St John questions
Do older homes in Stanton St John have asbestos?
If your home in Stanton St John was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Stanton St John?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Is my garage roof in Stanton St John asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
