How asbestos garage roof removal works in Penton Mewsey
Garage roof removal in Penton Mewsey normally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. We often deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and people usually contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garages before a new roof or conversion.
Rural garages near Penton Mewsey are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Penton Mewsey
Do you cover Penton Mewsey and the area around Andover station?
Yes. Andover station is about 1.9 miles south-east of Penton Mewsey, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Penton Mewsey?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Penton Mewsey
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single and double garage roofs
Around Anton Lakes, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether VAT is included
- What category of work it is
- Any exclusions
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
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.

After we have finished in Penton Mewsey
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.

- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Your options compared
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
