How asbestos garage roof removal works in Farnborough
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Farnborough tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s single and double garage roofs and garage conversions, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Farnborough, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
Older houses in Farnborough, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Duty holders and landlords in Farnborough
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Questions from Farnborough
Do you come out to small villages like Farnborough?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Farnborough contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
