Asbestos garage roof removal for Medstead
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Medstead
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and pieces of broken roof, including corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In Medstead, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Typical garage roof jobs in Medstead
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
Typical jobs in Medstead include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Old, cracked sheets
Near open spaces such as Red Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- How fibres will be kept down
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt

Duty holders and landlords in Medstead
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.

Helpful guides
Questions from Medstead
My garage in Medstead has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How far is Medstead from London?
Medstead is about 49 miles from central London, well within our area.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can you remove the whole garage?
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What it costs
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
