DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
After we’ve finished in Tilehurst Within
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know where we can park
- 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
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Tilehurst Within: your questions answered
My garage in Tilehurst Within has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Tilehurst Within from London?
We cover Tilehurst Within, about 40 miles from central London.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you cover Tilehurst Within?
Yes, Tilehurst Within is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
