Asbestos garage roof removal in Wells-in-the-Field

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
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.
Wells-in-the-Field: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Wells-in-the-Field normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Wells-in-the-Field?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is my garage roof in Wells-in-the-Field asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
What happens
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Wells-in-the-Field by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare

What else we do in Wells-in-the-Field
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
