About our asbestos garage roof removal in Horndean
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Horndean. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s garages due a new roof and carport roofs, we cover ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Horndean, and the roof is normally the first job. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Horndean
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do older homes in Horndean have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Horndean may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Horndean
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Horndean include:
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Rowlands Castle station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
