Asbestos garage roof removal in The Hummicks
Your questions about garage roof removal in The Hummicks
Are garage roofs in The Hummicks typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in The Hummicks contain asbestos?
Any home in The Hummicks built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Why people call us in The Hummicks

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages due for demolition

For rented homes with garages close to Beaulieu Road station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
