About our asbestos garage roof removal in Stocks Green
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. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and block garages.
In a village like Stocks Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Are garage roofs in Stocks Green typically asbestos?

What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
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.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.

Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

After the job

To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you run a business from older premises in Stocks Green, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
