After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs

What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Ibstone properties
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about block garages and storm-damaged sheets.
In a village like Ibstone, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Ibstone: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Ibstone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Ibstone homes?
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.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Where asbestos turns up

In older properties, we often see:
- Sheet garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Block garages
Around Bald Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
