- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Pieces of broken roof
- Double garages
For rented homes with garages close to Cosham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Widley properties
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and lean-to roofs.
In a village like Widley, 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: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Widley
Do you work near Cosham station?
Yes. Cosham station is about 1.3 miles south-west of Widley, and we cover both.
How far is Widley from London?
We cover Widley, about 61 miles from central London.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
Afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
