Asbestos Garage Roof Removal in Hampshire

Our asbestos garage roof removal in Hampshire

An old asbestos cement garage roof in Hampshire tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about old, cracked sheets and roofs to clear before demolition.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

  1. Get in touch with photos
  2. We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
  3. We quote for the removal and disposal
  4. On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
  5. The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork

Garage roofs across Hampshire

From Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to its villages, Hampshire has many older garages with cement roofs. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings. Parts of Hampshire are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. 143 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, where exposed sites can be windy, which affects outdoor roof work.

Basingstoke: In Basingstoke, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Properties near Daneshill Park Woods may have outbuildings as well as a garage. We plan garage roof jobs in Basingstoke for daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.

The scope of garage roof removal

So you know what to expect:

  • Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
  • Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
  • Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

Options to consider in Hampshire

Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
  • The documents you will receive
  • Whether VAT is included
  • What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof

Afterwards

Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.

  • Send photos of the whole garage and the access
  • Let neighbours know beforehand
  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Plan the new roof before removal

Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Should you do it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Where asbestos turns up

Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.

Typical jobs in Hampshire include:

  • Garages being knocked down
  • Garages before a new roof or conversion
  • Single and double garage roofs
  • Lean-tos and carports

Common questions in Hampshire

Do you work in Hampshire?

Yes, Hampshire is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.

Could my home contain asbestos?

You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Can you quote from photos?

Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.

How can I get a price?

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.

What does licensed work mean?

Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
