Asbestos garage roof removal near Beech
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and garages due a new roof, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
In areas like Beech, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

More for properties in Beech
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.

The cost depends on:

Step by step
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Beech is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Helpful guides
FAQs for Beech
Is asbestos common in Beech homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Beech may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is about 2.2 miles east of Beech, and we cover both.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
