Sholing garages: local notes
Sholing is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Properties in Sholing range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Sholing is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton we cover.
Across Sholing, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000. Around Netley Common, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together. The New Forest National Park is within about 8 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. The sea is within about 2 miles; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.
We handle garage roof jobs in every part of SO19. From Bay Road, Ashby Road and Loane Road or a nearby road, the process is the same. Main roads around Sholing include the A3025; tell us about parking if you’re on a main road.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Sholing, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Sholing
Do you work near Sholing station?
Yes. Sholing station is about 0.5 miles south-west of Sholing, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Sholing homes?
Any home in Sholing built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials in Sholing
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
