Duty holders and landlords in West Wellow
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in West Wellow
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and lean-tos and carports.
In areas like West Wellow, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We only recommend work that is needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about garage roof removal in West Wellow
My garage in West Wellow has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Wall panels

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- The survey scope
- The quantity or area

If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
