Asbestos garage roof removal near Picket Piece
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage blocks, we cover corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and bargeboards and more.
Homes in areas like Picket Piece often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Picket Piece
Are garage roofs in Picket Piece typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Picket Piece contain asbestos?
If your home in Picket Piece was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Picket Piece?
Yes, we do: Picket Piece is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
Which option is right?
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is

Responsibilities for owners
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Picket Piece, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
