How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hunton
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about double garages and garages due for demolition, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Hunton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Hunton
How far is Hunton from London?
We cover Hunton, about 31 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Hunton generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
After we have finished in Hunton
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For businesses and landlords in Hunton
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
