Asbestos garage roof removal for Wherwell Wood
Asbestos garage roof removal near Wherwell Wood
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 lean-tos and carports and garage conversions, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Wherwell Wood are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

FAQs for Wherwell Wood
Do you come out to small villages like Wherwell Wood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Wherwell Wood normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
How it works
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. We’ll tell you when we have finished and what you will receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Wherwell Wood is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
