About our asbestos garage roof removal in Atherfield Green
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From block garages and broken sheets after high winds, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In towns and villages like Atherfield Green, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Atherfield Green
My garage in Atherfield Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Atherfield Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we deal with in Atherfield Green
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Double garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due for demolition
Properties near Brighstone Down may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

How we price garage roof removal
What changes the cost:
- The size of the job
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. In December, it’s dark in Atherfield Green by about 4:05pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Move things out of the way carefully
