About our asbestos garage roof removal in Elson
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes, and people typically contact us about single and double garage roofs and old, cracked sheets.
In towns and villages like Elson, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Clear written quotes
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing. We plan garage roof jobs in Elson for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Elson must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
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.
Typical garage roof jobs in Elson
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Hampshire.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
