Asbestos garage roof removal for Eastleigh
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Eastleigh
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and lean-tos and carports, including bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In towns like Eastleigh, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access to the area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The access route
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Include any existing survey or test when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Eastleigh: your questions answered
Could my house in Eastleigh contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Eastleigh from London?
We cover Eastleigh, about 65 miles from central London.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
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.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.

Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Records for your files
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Identify first, remove only when needed
Take a look at how we quote or published price ranges.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we are done:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Common materials
- Fixings and bolts

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Eastleigh
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.

- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages

If you are a landlord with garages near Eastleigh station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
