Asbestos garage roof removal near Hoe
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and garages in a row or block, we cover cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces and more.
Rural garages near Hoe are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
After we have finished in Hoe
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Hoe
Do you cover small places like Hoe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Hoe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you cover Hoe?
Yes, Hoe is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
