About asbestos garage roof removal in MK11
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. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and carport roofs, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note

- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
For businesses and landlords in MK11
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If your business premises in MK11 were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Options to consider in MK11
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

MK11 questions
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
