Asbestos garage roof removal for West Hanney
Asbestos garage roof removal for West Hanney properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in West Hanney is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and lean-tos and carports.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why choose us
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Should you do it yourself?

Common questions in West Hanney
How far is West Hanney from London?
West Hanney is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like West Hanney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover West Hanney?
Yes, West Hanney is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How quickly can you come out?

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Lean-to roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage conversions
Properties near Chain Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
