DIY and asbestos
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.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
- An overall view
- The access route

Your questions about garage roof removal in Sherborne St John
Are garage roofs in Sherborne St John usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Basingstoke station?
Yes, we cover Sherborne St John and the area towards Basingstoke station, about 2.1 miles south-east.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Sherborne St John
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Hampshire.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage blocks
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
Near open spaces such as Daneshill Park Woods, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- If the price includes VAT
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
