Asbestos garage roof removal for Hare Hatch properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Hare Hatch tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about lean-tos and carports and old, cracked sheets.
In towns and villages like Hare Hatch, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in Hare Hatch
Do you cover small places like Hare Hatch?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Hare Hatch from London?
We cover Hare Hatch, about 32 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.

- Waste quantity and disposal

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hare Hatch
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garage conversions
- Garage blocks
In Hare Hatch, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, clearly stated
- The documents you’ll receive
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

- Cement wall panels

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Keeping things safe:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
