Asbestos garage roof removal near Pennington
Asbestos garage roof removal for Pennington properties
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From storm-damaged sheets and old, cracked sheets, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
In Pennington, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.

- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Options to consider in Pennington
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Reports and results you can share
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Across London and the South East

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
After we’ve finished in Pennington
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Common questions in Pennington
Do you work near Lymington Town station?
Yes, we cover Pennington and the area towards Lymington Town station, about 1.2 miles north-east.
Do older homes in Pennington have asbestos?
If your home in Pennington was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
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 cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord

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