Asbestos garage roof removal for Privett properties
Garage roof removal in Privett generally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. We often deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages due a new roof and roofs to clear before demolition.
In a smaller place like Privett, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Common questions in Privett
Do older homes in Privett have asbestos?
If your home in Privett was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, we cover Privett and the area towards Portsmouth Harbour station, about 2.3 miles east.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is my garage roof in Privett asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Privett
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Near open spaces such as West of the River Alver, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before you book, note that:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
