How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chawton
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and garages due for demolition, we cover corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
In towns and villages like Chawton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Chawton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Chawton
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
- Sheet garages
Around King's 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 booking
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Any exclusions
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Suitable insurance for the work
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Chawton
Could my house in Chawton contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Alton station?
Yes. Alton station is about 1.6 miles north-east of Chawton, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
