What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Lower Slackstead by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Duty holders and landlords in Lower Slackstead
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Is my garage roof in Lower Slackstead asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
After the job
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Once we are done:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Typical garage roof jobs in Lower Slackstead
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Hampshire.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Around Emer Bog and Baddesley Common, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
