Asbestos garage roof removal in Wickham Common
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include lean-tos and carports and double garages, involving cement gutters, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Wickham Common, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.

Duty holders and landlords in Wickham Common
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage conversions
- Double garages

Questions from Wickham Common
Do you cover Wickham Common and the area around Fareham station?
Yes. Fareham station is about 2.8 miles south of Wickham Common, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Wickham Common generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
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 put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
