Typical garage roof jobs in Marchwood
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Lean-to roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Millbrook (Hants) station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the job needs notifying
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Duty holders and landlords in Marchwood
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Marchwood must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
For managing agents and freeholders in Marchwood, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Marchwood: your questions answered
Do you cover Marchwood and the area around Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes, we cover Marchwood and the area towards Millbrook (Hants) station, about 1.6 miles north-east.
My garage in Marchwood has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
