How asbestos garage roof removal works in Woodside
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In a village like Woodside, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Common questions in Woodside
Do you cover small places like Woodside?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Woodside has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
