Asbestos garage roof removal across MK2
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about garages due for demolition and carport roofs.
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site.

FAQs for MK2
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
