How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hamsey Green
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From double garages and lean-to roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Hamsey Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hamsey Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Options to consider in Hamsey Green
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Accredited laboratory results

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of

Before booking, note that:

Common questions in Hamsey Green
Could my house in Hamsey Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Hamsey Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
