Asbestos garage roof removal for Trotton
Asbestos garage roof removal for Trotton properties
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 cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about concrete-panel garages and single garages.
Garages around Trotton may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

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.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
What we deal with in Trotton
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
- Old, cracked sheets
Older houses in Trotton, near St George's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Trotton
Do older homes in Trotton have asbestos?
If your home in Trotton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Trotton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After we have finished in Trotton
We clear up and check for fragments.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
