Asbestos garage roof removal for Picket Twenty properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Picket Twenty tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes, and typical jobs are sheet garages and carport roofs.
Rural garages near Picket Twenty are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Garages being knocked down
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Double garages
If you let a house with a garage near Andover station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What is not included
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Picket Twenty
My garage in Picket Twenty has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Picket Twenty contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Picket Twenty may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
Options to consider in Picket Twenty
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
