About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hawthorn Hill
Many garages built before 2000, in Hawthorn Hill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about pieces of broken roof and single garages.
In a village like Hawthorn Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Step by step
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. It helps if we can park nearby. In December, it’s dark in Hawthorn Hill by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Hawthorn Hill must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
FAQs for Hawthorn Hill
My garage in Hawthorn Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Hawthorn Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
