Asbestos garage roof removal for Swanmore
Questions from Swanmore
Could my house in Swanmore contain asbestos?
If your home in Swanmore was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Swanmore has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in Swanmore?
Yes, Swanmore is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What you get
- Covering London and the South East
- Clear written quotes
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Domestic and commercial work
See our prices page and our cost guide.
Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Swanmore must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
