Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If your business premises in Thedden were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts

Thedden: your questions answered
Do older homes in Thedden have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Thedden?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you work in Thedden?
Yes, Thedden is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What happens
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Thedden is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare

- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Mention any parking restrictions

Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
