Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Whiteley
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages being knocked down
- Sheet garages
- Block garages
In Whiteley, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Whiteley
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes, and people generally contact us about double garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In places like Whiteley, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

My garage in Whiteley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After we’ve finished in Whiteley
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
