Asbestos garage roof removal for Selborne
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Selborne
If you are not sure your garage roof in Selborne is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and sheet garages, including bargeboards, downpipes and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Selborne are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Selborne, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
Once we are done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Common questions in Selborne
Do you cover Selborne and the area around Alton station?
Yes, we cover Selborne and the area towards Alton station, about 3.8 miles north.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you cover Selborne?
Yes, we do: Selborne is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
