About our asbestos garage roof removal in Harestock
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garage conversions and brittle, leaking roofs, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In Harestock, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

FAQs for Harestock
Is asbestos common in Harestock homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Harestock can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Harestock usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work in Harestock?
Yes, we do: Harestock is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
