Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What paperwork will I get?

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: 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 Statenborough

Helpful guides
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.
Some practical advice:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
