The process
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Wherwell by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wherwell
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Common materials are bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and single and double garage roofs.
Garages around Wherwell may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Materials, one by one

Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Questions from Wherwell
Do you work near Andover station?
Yes, we cover Wherwell and the area towards Andover station, about 3.7 miles north-west.
How far is Wherwell from London?
We cover Wherwell, about 63 miles from central London.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is generally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
