Asbestos garage roof removal for Northney
Asbestos garage roof removal for Northney properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Northney tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include carport roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
Garages around Northney may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Northney questions
Do you work near Warblington station?
Yes. Warblington station is about 1.7 miles north of Northney, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Northney?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.

Things not to do

The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Northney is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- 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
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Move things out of the way carefully
