About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chandler's Ford
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include garages due a new roof and garage blocks, involving corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In towns like Chandler's Ford, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Chandler's Ford
Is asbestos common in Chandler's Ford homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Chandler's Ford may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Chandler's Ford has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you work in Chandler's Ford?
Yes, we do: Chandler's Ford is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
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.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, 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 Chandler's Ford by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
