Asbestos garage roof removal for Welborne properties
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garage conversions and brittle, leaking roofs, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Rural garages near Welborne are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
Your questions about garage roof removal in Welborne
Are garage roofs in Welborne typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Welborne homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What we deal with in Welborne
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garage conversions
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages in a row or block
If you let a house with a garage near Fareham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Choosing the right option
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. Late-December sunset in Welborne is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
