Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
The scope of garage roof removal
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
Wexham Court: your questions answered
My garage in Wexham Court has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Wexham Court contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wexham Court can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Wexham Court
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages in a row or block
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Old, cracked sheets
Older houses in Wexham Court, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Wexham Court by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
