Asbestos garage roof removal in Braishfield
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.

Duty holders and landlords in Braishfield
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Braishfield must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.

What we deal with in Braishfield
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These are some of the things we deal with in Braishfield:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Double garages

Near open spaces such as Emer Bog and Baddesley Common, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Why us?

Questions from Braishfield
Do you work near Romsey station?
Yes. Romsey station is about 2.4 miles south-west of Braishfield, and we cover both.
My garage in Braishfield has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
