Asbestos garage roof removal near Hounsdown
Many garages built before 2000, in Hounsdown and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s single garages and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
In a smaller place like Hounsdown, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Are garage roofs in Hounsdown generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Hounsdown and the area around Totton station?
Yes, we cover Hounsdown and the area towards Totton station, about 1.1 miles north-east.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.

How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
