Asbestos help in Lee
Asbestos garage roof removal near Lee
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and lean-tos and carports.
In places like Lee, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Lee: your questions answered
Do you work near Romsey station?
Yes. Romsey station is about 2.4 miles north of Lee, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Lee normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Lee
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Carport roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Garage blocks
Properties near Testwood Lakes may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How fibres will be kept down
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Clear written quotes
Take a look at how we quote and our cost guide.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal
