Asbestos garage roof removal in Hanworth
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s garage conversions and lean-to roofs, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
In a smaller place like Hanworth, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Hanworth: your questions answered
How far is Hanworth from London?
We cover Hanworth, about 30 miles from central London.
My garage in Hanworth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
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.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Hanworth, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
