Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Lower Burgate were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
The process
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Lower Burgate is about 4:05pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Options to consider in Lower Burgate
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Lower Burgate
Do you cover small places like Lower Burgate?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Lower Burgate 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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Lower Burgate?
We do: Lower Burgate is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
