About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hardwick
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about garage blocks and lean-tos and carports, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Hardwick are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Hardwick
Do you work near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes. Aylesbury Vale Parkway station is about 2.6 miles south-west of Hardwick, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Hardwick homes?
If your home in Hardwick was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
