North Fareham garages: local notes
North Fareham is about 1 mile north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire.

We work in all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from North Fareham to Southampton (about 10 miles away).

The sea is within about 6 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these

North Fareham: your questions answered
Do you work near Fareham station?
Yes, we cover North Fareham and the area towards Fareham station, about 1.3 miles south-west.
My garage in North Fareham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Doing it yourself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
