Asbestos garage roof removal for Worthy Down properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Worthy Down and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From sheet garages and single and double garage roofs, we cover bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In a village like Worthy Down, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common questions in Worthy Down
My garage in Worthy Down 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.
Do you cover small places like Worthy Down?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you cover Worthy Down?
We do: our area includes Worthy Down and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
