About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hamstead
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage conversions, including cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards.
In places like Hamstead, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hamstead
Are garage roofs in Hamstead normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Hamstead?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
