Asbestos garage roof removal in Paulsgrove
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Paulsgrove
If you are not sure your garage roof in Paulsgrove is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From garage blocks and garages due a new roof, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
In places like Paulsgrove, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Options to consider in Paulsgrove
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions

Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Paulsgrove homes?
If your home in Paulsgrove was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Cosham station?
Yes. Cosham station is about 1.2 miles south-east of Paulsgrove, and we cover both.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
