About our asbestos garage roof removal in Hurstbourne Priors
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Hurstbourne Priors tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people generally contact us about broken sheets after high winds and garages due a new roof.
Rural garages near Hurstbourne Priors are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Why people call us in Hurstbourne Priors

What affects the price in Hurstbourne Priors
Our quotes take into account:
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A rough size or measurement
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

FAQs for Hurstbourne Priors
Do you cover Hurstbourne Priors and the area around Whitchurch (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we cover Hurstbourne Priors and the area towards Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.3 miles north-east.
Are garage roofs in Hurstbourne Priors usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
