A closer look at the materials

Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Questions from Tyler Hill
Could my house in Tyler Hill contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Tyler Hill usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer

- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof

Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
