Asbestos garage roof removal near Hammer
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In a village like Hammer, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Hammer
Do you cover Hammer and the area around Haslemere station?
Yes. Haslemere station is about 1.5 miles east of Hammer, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Hammer?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Your options compared
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
