Asbestos garage roof removal in Catherington
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs, including bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Garages around Catherington may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are some of the things we deal with in Catherington:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Block garages
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
Around Windmill Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
For businesses and landlords in Catherington
If you run a business from older premises in Catherington, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Catherington questions
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover Catherington and the area around Rowlands Castle station?
Yes, we cover Catherington and the area towards Rowlands Castle station, about 3.5 miles south-east.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes

To be clear about the scope:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Catherington is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
