After we have finished in Harmans Water
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Harmans Water
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garages being knocked down and double garages, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In Harmans Water, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What it might be made of

Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Can I do it myself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
FAQs for Harmans Water
Do you cover Harmans Water from London?
We cover Harmans Water, about 29 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Harmans Water generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is my garage roof in Harmans Water asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
