About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hooley
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and carport roofs, involving ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In London neighbourhoods like Hooley, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hooley
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Hooley have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hooley can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we deal with in Hooley
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Single garages
- Block garages
- Garage conversions
- Pieces of broken roof
In Hooley, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- If the price includes VAT
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
For businesses and landlords in Hooley
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
How we price garage roof removal
What changes the cost:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- How we’d reach it
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
- A rough size or measurement
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
