Asbestos garage roof removal near Upper Horsebridge
Questions from Upper Horsebridge
My garage in Upper Horsebridge has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Upper Horsebridge from London?
We cover Upper Horsebridge, about 46 miles from central London.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Upper Horsebridge
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about garage conversions and storm-damaged sheets.
In places like Upper Horsebridge, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Upper Horsebridge, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
