Upper Swanmore questions
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Swanmore?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Are garage roofs in Upper Swanmore usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-to roofs
- Block garages
- Single and double garage roofs
In Upper Swanmore, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before booking anyone
- The documents you’ll receive
- VAT, clearly stated
- What is not included
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Reports and results you can share
