Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
Why people choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Accredited laboratory results

Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Garage roofs in Eling
Eling is about 1 mile south-east of Totton, in Southampton. Eling is within our Southampton area, whatever the size of the job. We work in all 40 towns and villages in Southampton.
In Eling, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, often with cement roofs. Properties near Testwood Lakes may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs. Eling is within about 4 miles of the coast; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.
For garage roof jobs in SO40 and SO15, just send the postcode and a few photos. From Bury Lane, Rose Road and Mill Road or a nearby road, the process is the same. With the A35 close by, Eling is simple for us to get to.

What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Eling
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
For rented homes with garages close to Totton station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get

Eling: your questions answered
Could my house in Eling contain asbestos?
If your home in Eling was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Eling has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
