About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ramsdell
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and block garages, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In a village like Ramsdell, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Ramsdell questions
How far is Ramsdell from London?
Ramsdell is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Ramsdell homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ramsdell can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

- Lean-to roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Prefab garages with cement walls
For rented homes with garages close to Bramley (Hants) station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- What paperwork you get
- How fibres will be kept down
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ramsdell must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
After we’ve finished in Ramsdell
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Parking close by makes the day easier. In December, it’s dark in Ramsdell by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We time it around your roofer
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
