About our asbestos garage roof removal in Upper Kingston
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include sheet garages and garage blocks, involving ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In a village like Upper Kingston, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Common questions in Upper Kingston
My garage in Upper Kingston has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Other services in Upper Kingston
After we have finished in Upper Kingston
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- The category of work
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- The access route
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and keeps dust to a minimum. In December, it’s dark in Upper Kingston by about 4:05pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Getting ready
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
Ask for a quote

Helpful guides
The scope of garage roof removal
What’s in and what’s out:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheet garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Double garages
Across Upper Kingston, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Choosing the right option
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Clear written quotes
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
