Asbestos garage roof removal near Abbots Worthy
Asbestos garage roof removal in Abbots Worthy
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From lean-to roofs and concrete-panel garages, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters and more.
In towns and villages like Abbots Worthy, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Abbots Worthy: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Abbots Worthy generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Abbots Worthy from London?
Abbots Worthy is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
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?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Why people call us in Abbots Worthy
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages due for demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Double garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Winchester station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Which areas and materials are covered
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Clear advice on your options
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Abbots Worthy must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
