Asbestos garage roof removal in Hextable
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From single garages and carport roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In towns and villages like Hextable, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
What affects the price in Hextable
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hextable
Are garage roofs in Hextable usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Hextable from London?
Hextable is about 13 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
