Asbestos garage roof removal for South Down properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. From prefab garages with cement walls and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with downpipes, bargeboards and cement wall panels and more.
In a village like South Down, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Common questions in South Down
Do you cover South Down from London?
South Down is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do older homes in South Down have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
These are some of the things we deal with in South Down:
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
- Single garages
- Garages being knocked down
Properties near Shawford Down may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Re-roofing is normally separate
