Asbestos garage roof removal for Little Somborne properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and garage blocks.
Rural garages near Little Somborne are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

How it works
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there is no confusion.

Little Somborne questions
My garage in Little Somborne has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Little Somborne from London?
Little Somborne is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you work in Little Somborne?
Yes. We cover Little Somborne and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
- How easy it is to reach
The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- Approximate dimensions
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

What else we do in Little Somborne
DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Duty holders and landlords in Little Somborne
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Different materials need a different approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
Options to consider in Little Somborne
Paint or overclad instead? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
