How asbestos garage roof removal works in Weston
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In a village like Weston, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What we deal with in Weston
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.
These come up again and again:
- Double garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
If you are a landlord with garages near Petersfield station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What paperwork you get
Duty holders and landlords in Weston
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Weston
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Weston and the area around Petersfield station?
Yes. Petersfield station is about 1.4 miles north-east of Weston, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
