Helpful guides
For businesses and landlords in Alton
For managing agents and freeholders in Alton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
What affects the price in Alton
What drives the price:
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

Why people call us in Alton

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
Older houses in Alton, near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What is not included
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Alton: your questions answered
Do you cover Alton and the area around Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is close to the centre of Alton, and we cover the whole area.
My garage in Alton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
