About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hartlip
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garage conversions and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Hartlip are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Options to consider in Hartlip
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
How we work in Hartlip
- No removal until we know what it is
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Hartlip: your questions answered
My garage in Hartlip has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Newington station?
Yes, we cover Hartlip and the area towards Newington station, about 1.3 miles east.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
For businesses and landlords in Hartlip
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Hartlip were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
