FAQs for East Hanney
Are garage roofs in East Hanney usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in East Hanney have asbestos?
Any home in East Hanney built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
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, with paperwork for your records.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
How we price garage roof removal
Every quote reflects:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Street parking nearby
- Damaged areas
- A clear close-up
- A photo of the whole area
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
In East Hanney, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.

How we work
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in East Hanney is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- 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
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
