Asbestos garage roof removal in Upton Grey
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. People often contact us about garage conversions and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Upton Grey are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Your options compared
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Common questions in Upton Grey
Do you cover Upton Grey from London?
We cover Upton Grey, about 44 miles from central London.
Do you work near Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 4 miles north-east of Upton Grey, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Duty holders and landlords in Upton Grey
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Upton Grey, 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.
If your business premises in Upton Grey were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The process
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Upton Grey by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
