About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hassell Street
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and garages due for demolition, including corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Hassell Street are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Hassell Street: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Hassell Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Wye station?
Yes. Wye station is about 2.7 miles west of Hassell Street, and we cover both.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Step by step

What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area
- How easy it is to reach

Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The access route
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
