About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hyde End
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical jobs include roofs to clear before demolition and block garages, including ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards.
In a village like Hyde End, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garage blocks
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
Around Thatcham Reed Beds, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

FAQs for Hyde End
Do you come out to small villages like Hyde End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Hyde End homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Hyde End is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
