Helpful guides
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Townhill Park
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and garages due for demolition, including cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Townhill Park, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common materials

- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
What it might be made of
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Typical garage roof jobs in Townhill Park
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Properties near Netley Common may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.

Common questions in Townhill Park
Do you cover Townhill Park from London?
We cover Townhill Park, about 67 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Townhill Park homes?
Any home in Townhill Park built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is my garage roof in Townhill Park asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.

Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- 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
