After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Give us a rough size
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Peartree Green
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are brittle, leaking roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Homes in towns and villages like Peartree Green often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in Peartree Green
Could my house in Peartree Green contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
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.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
