Asbestos garage roof removal for Haylands properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Haylands tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people normally contact us about broken sheets after high winds and lean-tos and carports.
In Haylands, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Haylands: your questions answered
Do you cover Haylands and the area around Ryde St Johns Road station?
Yes. Ryde St Johns Road station is about 0.9 miles north-east of Haylands, and we cover both.
My garage in Haylands has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you cover Haylands?
Yes, Haylands is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Haylands were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
