Asbestos garage roof removal for Hayes properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s block garages and single and double garage roofs, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters and more.
In Hayes, garages are often reached through the garden or along a lane, so we plan how to carry the sheets out. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hayes
Are garage roofs in Hayes generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Hayes have asbestos?
Any home in Hayes built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Is my garage roof in Hayes asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you work in Hayes?
We do: our area includes Hayes and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why people choose us
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How it works
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, because safety comes first. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Garage roof removal in Hayes is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- 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
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Tell us about parking and access
- Ensure we can get to the area

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hayes, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hayes
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
These come up again and again:
- Single garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
If you are a landlord with garages near Hayes (Kent) station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What affects the price in Hayes

- How much waste there is
