Asbestos garage roof removal near Hiltingbury
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and block garages, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
In areas like Hiltingbury, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed.

What we deal with in Hiltingbury
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garage conversions
- Pieces of broken roof
Older houses in Hiltingbury, near St. Martin in the Woods or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Hiltingbury
Are garage roofs in Hiltingbury normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Hiltingbury from London?
Hiltingbury is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
