About our asbestos garage roof removal in Huntercombe

Many garages built before 2000, in Huntercombe and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes.

Homes in places like Huntercombe often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

After we’ve finished in Huntercombe

File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.

To avoid problems in future:

  • Measure or estimate the size of the roof
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Plan the new roof before removal
  • Tell us about parking and access

What to avoid

Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Keep weight off the roof.

Responsibilities for owners

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Limits to be aware of

Worth knowing before you book:

  • Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
  • Re-roofing is normally separate
  • If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Service details

Doing it yourself?

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Huntercombe

My garage in Huntercombe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?

Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.

Is asbestos common in Huntercombe homes?

It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Huntercombe may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

When can you start?

That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Can the roof be overclad?

It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.

Do you work in flats?

We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.

What if asbestos is found during building work?

Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.

Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?

Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
