Asbestos garage roof removal for Hambrook properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From double garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces and more.
Garages around Hambrook may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Hambrook questions
Do you work near Nutbourne station?
Yes, we cover Hambrook and the area towards Nutbourne station, about 0.6 miles south.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Good to know
We are upfront about what’s included:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Domestic and commercial work
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Clear written quotes
