Asbestos garage roof removal near Waterlooville
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and garages in a row or block, we deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes.
Many people in towns like Waterlooville convert their garages, and the roof is usually the first job. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you manage or own a block in Waterlooville, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Waterlooville
Do older homes in Waterlooville have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Waterlooville can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Waterlooville and the area around Bedhampton station?
Yes. Bedhampton station is about 2.6 miles south-east of Waterlooville, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
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.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
After we have finished:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

The scope of garage roof removal
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
