About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hawridge
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From carport roofs and broken sheets after high winds, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Hawridge may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What else we do in Hawridge
Hawridge: your questions answered
How far is Hawridge from London?
We cover Hawridge, about 29 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
DIY and asbestos
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we price garage roof removal
We base our quote on:
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Damaged areas
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What it might be made of
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hawridge
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheet garages
- Carport roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Block garages
Properties near Sands Bank may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- If the price includes VAT
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What paperwork you get
- How fibres will be kept down
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. Late-December sunset in Hawridge is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole

Related guides
For businesses and landlords in Hawridge
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.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Once we are done:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
