Garage roof removal in Canada is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

Asbestos garage roof removal near Canada
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about lean-to roofs and sheet garages.
In a village like Canada, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Canada
Do you come out to small villages like Canada?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Canada and the area around Romsey station?
Yes, we cover Canada and the area towards Romsey station, about 4.6 miles north-east.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
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’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Canada
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Pieces of broken roof
If you’re a landlord with garages near Romsey station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- How fibres will be kept down
- Which laboratory analyses samples

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
What affects the price in Canada
Our quotes take into account:
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A rough size or measurement
- The parking area
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page, and we’ll recommend the right option.
