Asbestos garage roof removal for Fawler
Asbestos garage roof removal for Fawler properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in Fawler is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages being knocked down.
In towns and villages like Fawler, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Typical garage roof jobs in Fawler
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
In Fawler, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Fawler by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Helpful guides
FAQs for Fawler
Could my house in Fawler contain asbestos?
If your home in Fawler was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Fawler?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Material and condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
