Asbestos garage roof removal for Dibden Purlieu
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Dibden Purlieu by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Dig out previous surveys
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive

Helpful guides
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Dibden Purlieu
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From double garages and concrete-panel garages, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In a smaller place like Dibden Purlieu, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Dibden Purlieu questions
Could my house in Dibden Purlieu 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 Southampton Town Quay station?
Yes, we cover Dibden Purlieu and the area towards Southampton Town Quay station, about 2.8 miles north.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
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.
Do you work in Dibden Purlieu?
Yes. We cover Dibden Purlieu and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
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.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
