Asbestos garage roof removal in Test Valley
Asbestos garage roof removal near Test Valley
If you are not sure your garage roof in Test Valley is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From prefab garages with cement walls and double garages, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Garages around Test Valley may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Test Valley questions
Do you cover Test Valley from London?
Test Valley is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
My garage in Test Valley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, though access and condition affect it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
We will say if it should be tested.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. It helps if we can park nearby. Garage roof removal in Test Valley is planned around daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Dig out previous surveys
- Move things out of the way carefully
