Asbestos garage roof removal for Broughton
Asbestos garage roof removal near Broughton
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about carport roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, including cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Broughton may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For rented homes with garages close to Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
After we’ve finished in Broughton
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Keeping things safe:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

FAQs for Broughton
Do you cover small places like Broughton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Broughton from London?
Broughton is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Is my garage roof in Broughton asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.

Which option is right?

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Roof felt
