Asbestos garage roof removal for Hatchford properties
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From garages being knocked down and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
Rural garages near Hatchford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Hatchford
Do older homes in Hatchford have asbestos?
If your home in Hatchford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Hatchford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
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.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you manage or own a block in Hatchford, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
After we’ve finished in Hatchford
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- Parking and access charges
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An overall view
- The access route
- Labels, if any
- Damaged areas
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we will recommend the right option.
