Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hammer Bottom
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single and double garage roofs
Near open spaces such as Lynchmere Commons, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What category of work it is
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
