About our asbestos garage roof removal in Gosport
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Gosport tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about garages due a new roof and garages due for demolition.
Rural garages near Gosport are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials in Gosport

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Options to consider in Gosport
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Common questions in Gosport
My garage in Gosport has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Chandlers Ford station?
Yes, we cover Gosport and the area towards Chandlers Ford station, about 2.6 miles south-east.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

Yes, we do: Gosport is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
