Asbestos garage roof removal across SO23
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages due a new roof and lean-tos and carports.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

Garage roof removal in SO23
Garage roof jobs in SO23 include singles, doubles and blocks, from the towns to the villages.
Hyde: If you are a landlord with garages near Winchester station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Around Winnall Moors, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores. Late-December sunset in Hyde is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Let us know where we can park
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes

Options to consider in SO23
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
SO23: your questions answered
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
