Your questions about garage roof removal in Upper Chute
Could my house in Upper Chute contain asbestos?
Any home in Upper Chute built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Upper Chute has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
- Pieces of broken roof
- Carport roofs
Across Upper Chute, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
