Asbestos garage roof removal near Southampton
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

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 your business premises in Southampton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Southampton questions
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Southampton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you cover Southampton?
Yes, we do: our area includes Southampton and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How we work
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Late-December sunset in Southampton is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Can I do it myself?

- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
