Asbestos garage roof removal across Portsmouth
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Portsmouth tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. People often contact us about sheet garages and carport roofs, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
What you’ll pay
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Reports and results you can share
- Domestic and commercial work
- Clear advice on your options

Portsmouth: your questions answered
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we’re set up.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you cover Portsmouth?
Yes. We cover Portsmouth and the surrounding area as part of Portsmouth. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
