Asbestos garage roof removal near Calshot
Asbestos garage roof removal near Calshot
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In a village like Calshot, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What happens
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Calshot is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area

Calshot: your questions answered
Could my house in Calshot contain asbestos?
If your home in Calshot was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
