About our asbestos garage roof removal in Havant
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From concrete-panel garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In towns like Havant, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? 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. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- No removal until we know what it is

Your questions about garage roof removal in Havant
Do you cover Havant from London?
We cover Havant, about 59 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Havant normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is my garage roof in Havant asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Why people call us in Havant
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Double garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Southmoor Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What is not included
- VAT, clearly stated
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
