A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
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.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Emery Down must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
If you manage or own a block in Emery Down, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.

Emery Down questions
Could my house in Emery Down contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Emery Down can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Emery Down has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Emery Down?
We do: Emery Down is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Typical garage roof jobs in Emery Down
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in Emery Down, near Christ Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
