Asbestos garage roof removal for Petersfield properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Many people in towns like Petersfield convert their garages, and the old cement roof is usually the first thing to go. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Petersfield: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Petersfield normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do you cover Petersfield?
We do: Petersfield is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
