About our asbestos garage roof removal in Michelmersh
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a village like Michelmersh, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Records for your files

Read our prices page or the cost guide.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. In December, it’s dark in Michelmersh by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Mention any damage before we arrive
Getting a price
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
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.

Michelmersh: your questions answered
Do you cover Michelmersh from London?
Michelmersh is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Michelmersh usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
