Asbestos garage roof removal in Holbury
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From single garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes.
In Holbury, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Questions from Holbury
Do you work near Netley station?
Yes, we cover Holbury and the area towards Netley station, about 3.8 miles north-east.
My garage in Holbury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you work in Holbury?
We do: our area includes Holbury and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Holbury, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Holbury is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
