Asbestos garage roof removal for Hipley
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hipley
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From broken sheets after high winds and sheet garages, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes and more.
In a village like Hipley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hipley
My garage in Hipley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Hipley from London?
Hipley is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you cover Hipley?
Yes. We cover Hipley and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
