Asbestos garage roof removal for Worth properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In towns and villages like Worth, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Weighing up your options

See how we price jobs or the cost guide.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

FAQs for Worth
Are garage roofs in Worth typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Worth have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Worth may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work in Worth?
We do: our area includes Worth and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
