Asbestos garage roof removal for Northington
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Northington
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about garages due a new roof and garages being knocked down, involving cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Northington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Why people call us in Northington
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Block garages
- Double garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in Northington, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Northington: your questions answered
Do you cover Northington and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover Northington and the area towards Micheldever station, about 4.6 miles north-west.
How far is Northington from London?
We cover Northington, about 54 miles from central London.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
