Asbestos garage roof removal in Wymering
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Wymering
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and concrete-panel garages, including corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like Wymering, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Which option is right?
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Wymering: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Wymering homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wymering may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Wymering has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Wymering?
Yes. We cover Wymering and the surrounding area as part of Portsmouth. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
