About our asbestos garage roof removal in Sprat's Down
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people normally contact us about lean-tos and carports and garages in a row or block.
Rural garages near Sprat's Down are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Sprat's Down questions
Do you cover small places like Sprat's Down?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
