Asbestos garage roof removal in Hanworth

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hanworth
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. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and single garages, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In parts of London like Hanworth, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, which can involve a landlord or several owners. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Hanworth: your questions answered
My garage in Hanworth has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Hanworth contain asbestos?
If your home in Hanworth was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.

Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Hanworth
If your business premises in Hanworth were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hanworth must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
