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.

How to choose an asbestos contractor

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.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.

Does weather affect the work?

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.

How we price garage roof removal

Prices vary with:

  • The type of material and its condition
  • Location, parking and any London charges
  • Access to the area
  • The number of samples or the size of the building

The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Sending photos

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

  • A clear close-up
  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • Where we could park
  • Labels, if any

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

What happens next

If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.

After the job, keep these in mind:

  • Keep children and pets indoors during the work
  • Photos of the garage and the way in help
  • Book your roofer in advance
  • File the waste paperwork

Avoid these

If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Limits to be aware of

The usual limits are:

  • Re-roofing is normally separate
  • Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
  • Different materials need a different approach

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

What we deal with
