Asbestos garage roof removal for Ashfield
Your questions about garage roof removal in Ashfield
Do you work near Romsey station?
Yes, we cover Ashfield and the area towards Romsey station, about 2.3 miles north.
Do you come out to small villages like Ashfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ashfield
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Ashfield. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards.
In a village like Ashfield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Near open spaces such as Testwood Lakes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Ashfield is within about 6 miles of the coast, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Before booking anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Any exclusions
Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
Read our prices page and our cost guide.
What it costs
Prices vary with:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
