Your questions about garage roof removal in Headbourne Worthy
Do older homes in Headbourne Worthy have asbestos?
If your home in Headbourne Worthy was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Winchester station?
Yes, we cover Headbourne Worthy and the area towards Winchester station, about 1.8 miles south-west.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
After we have finished in Headbourne Worthy
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
What affects the price in Headbourne Worthy
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The type of material and its condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
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.
Photos that help

- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
