Asbestos garage roof removal near Hoe Gate
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s sheet garages and lean-to roofs, we cover corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In areas like Hoe Gate, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hoe Gate
Do you cover Hoe Gate and the area around Portchester station?
Yes. Portchester station is about 4.5 miles south of Hoe Gate, and we cover both.
Do you cover Hoe Gate from London?
We cover Hoe Gate, about 60 miles from central London.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Why people choose us
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Reports and results you can share

- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage conversions
- Garages being knocked down
Properties near St Clair's Meadow may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Comparing quotes
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Going forward:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Hoe Gate, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
