Asbestos garage roof removal in Lee-on-the-Solent
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garages in a row or block.
In a smaller place like Lee-on-the-Solent, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Lee-on-the-Solent
Are garage roofs in Lee-on-the-Solent typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Lee-on-the-Solent homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lee-on-the-Solent may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
