Afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size

Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.

Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too.

Common questions in RG23
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work in RG23?
Yes, we do: RG23 is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
