Asbestos garage roof removal near Chilbolton
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. From brittle, leaking roofs and carport roofs, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Chilbolton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Why people call us in Chilbolton

People typically contact us about one of these:

- Garages in a row or block

Across Chilbolton, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What category of work it is
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether VAT is included
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Chilbolton questions
Do you cover Chilbolton and the area around Andover station?
Yes, we cover Chilbolton and the area towards Andover station, about 4.7 miles north-west.
Do you cover small places like Chilbolton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
