How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lower Upham
If you are not sure your garage roof in Lower Upham is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Whether it’s storm-damaged sheets and garages before a new roof or conversion, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Lower Upham may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garage conversions
- Prefab garages with cement walls
If you are a landlord with garages near Hedge End station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What your quote should include
- The method and controls
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Lower Upham: your questions answered
My garage in Lower Upham 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 come out to small villages like Lower Upham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Duty holders and landlords in Lower Upham
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- Material and condition
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much there is

Sending photos
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- An overall view
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Lower Upham by about 4:00pm, 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 confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
