Our asbestos garage roof removal in SO30
Garage roof removal in SO30 normally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets, involving cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first.

Garage roof removal in SO30
Garage roof jobs in SO30 include singles, doubles and blocks, from the towns to the villages. 10 of the places we cover in SO30 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Hedge End: Garages on busy roads like the A334 and B3033 need loading planned in advance. Across Hedge End, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Late-December sunset in Hedge End is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
The scope of garage roof removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Carport roofs
- Garages due for demolition
- Garage blocks
- Pieces of broken roof
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- How easy it is to reach
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- The type of material and its condition
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
SO30 questions
Do you cover SO30?
Yes, SO30 is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
