Asbestos garage roof removal for Hensting
Asbestos garage roof removal for Hensting properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From brittle, leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Hensting are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are typically asbestos cement too.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
For businesses and landlords in Hensting
If you run a business from older premises in Hensting, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hensting, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Written quotes that say what’s included
