How asbestos garage roof removal works in Cadnam
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and single and double garage roofs, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Cadnam may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. 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.

FAQs for Cadnam
Are garage roofs in Cadnam usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Cadnam homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in Cadnam?
Yes, Cadnam is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Weighing up your options
