I have an asbestos garage roof. Can i dismantle it?
If it is made of asbestos cement, you can dismantle it. remember to take precautions – download our leaflet Asbestos in the home for tips. Some garage roofs may be lined with asbestos insulating board and some garages may also contain asbestos insulating board panels – if this is the case, do not dismantle the garage yourself. It is best to contact the Asbestos Management Team for advice.
It is always advisable to ensure that you understand what you are dealing with and take precautions. If in doubt get a reputable and experienced builder to do the job. If you get someone who is registered with environmental agencies you can be sure that they will dispose of the asbestos safely which is just as important.
