About our asbestos garage roof removal in Coxford
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets.
In areas like Coxford, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Coxford must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you run a business from older premises in Coxford, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- What the material is and its state
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Questions from Coxford
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Could my house in Coxford contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you cover Coxford?
We do: Coxford is within the area we cover in Southampton. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
