Asbestos garage roof removal for Butlocks Heath properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people usually contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and garage blocks.
In a village like Butlocks Heath, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening. In December, it’s dark in Butlocks Heath by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready

Butlocks Heath: your questions answered
Do you cover Butlocks Heath and the area around Netley station?
Yes, we cover Butlocks Heath, including the streets around Netley station.
My garage in Butlocks Heath has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do you work in Butlocks Heath?
Yes, Butlocks Heath is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
