Asbestos garage roof removal in Ower
Asbestos garage roof removal for Ower properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Ower and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garage blocks and lean-to roofs, including bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Ower are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Ower
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Are garage roofs in Ower generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is my garage roof in Ower asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
The scope of garage roof removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Ower
- Bargeboards

Options to consider in Ower
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
