About our asbestos garage roof removal in Rowlands Castle
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Rowlands Castle tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Homes in towns and villages like Rowlands Castle often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What’s included, and what is not
Before you book, note that:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheet garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Block garages
Around Brook Meadow (Emsworth), a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book

How we work
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Rowlands Castle by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
