How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hinchley Wood
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garage conversions and prefab garages with cement walls.
In Hinchley Wood, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- No removal until we know what it is
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

Hinchley Wood: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Hinchley Wood homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Hinchley Wood normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
