How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hoyle
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Hoyle tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and garage conversions, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Hoyle, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Step by step
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Hoyle is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Questions from Hoyle
Do you come out to small villages like Hoyle?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Hoyle from London?
We cover Hoyle, about 46 miles from central London.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is my garage roof in Hoyle asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Doing it yourself?
