Asbestos garage roof removal in Hartfield
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s block garages and lean-tos and carports, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Hartfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.
Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Hartfield, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Are garage roofs in Hartfield normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
