How asbestos garage roof removal works in Harefield
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. From single garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In Harefield, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Harefield
Are garage roofs in Harefield generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Harefield contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Harefield can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Harefield?
Yes, Harefield is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can the roof be overclad?
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Step by step
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it.
