Asbestos garage roof removal for Wanshurst Green properties
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof.
Garages around Wanshurst Green may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Materials we deal with
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Wanshurst Green, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Common questions in Wanshurst Green
Are garage roofs in Wanshurst Green usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Marden station?
Yes. Marden station is about 1.2 miles west of Wanshurst Green, and we cover both.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Places near Wanshurst Green
What else we do in Wanshurst Green
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
