Helpful guides
Asbestos garage roof removal for Hound properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and garages due for demolition.
In areas like Hound, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Sheet garages
Around Mercury Marshes, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Hound questions
Do older homes in Hound have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Netley station?
Yes, we cover Hound, including the streets around Netley station.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book your roofer in advance
