How asbestos garage roof removal works in Fareham Common
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From garages being knocked down and garages before a new roof or conversion, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Homes in areas like Fareham Common often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Fareham Common questions
How far is Fareham Common from London?
We cover Fareham Common, about 65 miles from central London.
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 0.8 miles west of Fareham Common, and we cover both.
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 I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is my garage roof in Fareham Common asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Fareham Common must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Fareham Common, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.

Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Keeping things safe:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
