Older houses in Little Hungerford, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Little Hungerford
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Little Hungerford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Duty holders and landlords in Little Hungerford
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
For a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.

Little Hungerford questions
My garage in Little Hungerford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Little Hungerford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
