Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What we deal with in Hartfordbridge
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
Near open spaces such as Hitches Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

FAQs for Hartfordbridge
Could my house in Hartfordbridge 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 Hartfordbridge can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Hartfordbridge normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
