Asbestos garage roof removal for Laverstoke
Questions from Laverstoke
Do you cover Laverstoke from London?
We cover Laverstoke, about 55 miles from central London.
My garage in Laverstoke has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages due for demolition
- Double garages
- Garage conversions
For rented homes with garages close to Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
