Asbestos garage roof removal in Hatherden
Garage roof removal in Hatherden typically includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From broken sheets after high winds and carport roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Hatherden, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Helpful guides
Hatherden questions
Are garage roofs in Hatherden usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Hatherden 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 Hatherden can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The category of work
- The type of material and its condition
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Travel and parking
Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Hatherden, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Why people call us in Hatherden
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.

- Garages due for demolition
