Asbestos garage roof removal in Dummer
Asbestos garage roof removal near Dummer
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and double garages, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
In areas like Dummer, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Houses, flats and business premises

FAQs for Dummer
Is asbestos common in Dummer homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Dummer from London?
We cover Dummer, about 50 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Do you cover Dummer?
Yes. We cover Dummer and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.

- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
