Asbestos garage roof removal for Preston Candover
Asbestos garage roof removal for Preston Candover properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and old, cracked sheets, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Garages around Preston Candover may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
What it might be made of
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Common questions in Preston Candover
Do you come out to small villages like Preston Candover?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Preston Candover has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you cover Preston Candover?
Yes. We cover Preston Candover and the surrounding area as part of Hampshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
