- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand

Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Upper Wield
Do you cover small places like Upper Wield?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Upper Wield have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Upper Wield can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Upper Wield?
Yes, we do: Upper Wield is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
What affects the price in Upper Wield
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- Access to the area
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
