Asbestos garage roof removal across PO13
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes, and typical jobs are double garages and garage blocks.
If the weather turns windy or very wet, we may pause or reschedule, for safety.

Garages we deal with in PO13

Lee-on-the-Solent: Properties near West of the River Alver may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

What’s included, and what is not
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options.

- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Why people call us in PO13
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Hampshire.
These come up again and again:
- Sheet garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single garages
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in PO13 must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Approximate dimensions
- A picture of the whole area
- Street parking nearby

PO13: your questions answered
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
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.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
