Asbestos garage roof removal for Meonstoke
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Meonstoke
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s sheet garages and block garages, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
In areas like Meonstoke, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Meonstoke
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Double garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due a new roof
In Meonstoke, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What to look for in a quote
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Once we’re done:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Work done to the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What happens
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Meonstoke is 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
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Meonstoke questions
Do you come out to small villages like Meonstoke?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Meonstoke from London?
Meonstoke is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, though access and condition affect it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
