How asbestos garage roof removal works in Andover
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Andover tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages in a row or block.
In a town like Andover, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, and many are now brittle. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Andover: your questions answered
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 0.5 miles west of Andover, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Andover typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
