Questions from Hempstead
How far is Hempstead from London?
We cover Hempstead, about 30 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Hempstead usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you work in Hempstead?
Yes, we do: our area includes Hempstead and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hempstead
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Hempstead all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In Hempstead, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Hempstead
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages being knocked down
- Carport roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Rainham (Kent) station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before you book:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts

A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
For businesses and landlords in Hempstead
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Hempstead, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
