Corrugated and flat cement sheets were standard for porches, lean-tos and canopies built before 2000. Weathering makes them brittle, and nearby building work needs specialist removal first.
We remove asbestos porch roofs from homes across Southampton, and if you’d like, we can fit an approved modern replacement in the very same visit.
Removal, disposal and paperwork all included
A modern replacement fitted the same visit
Every porch roof job runs through the same three stages, starting with a free survey and ending with your consignment note once the waste is gone.
We come out to your Southampton property for free and assess the porch roof material. Where it’s needed, we arrange UKAS-accredited testing to confirm exactly what we’re dealing with before quoting anything.
Within 48 hours of the survey, you’ll have a fixed written quote covering labour, controlled removal, licensed disposal and your consignment note.
Our UKATA-trained operatives carefully remove all porch roof sheets intact using wet control methods. Appropriate containment controls are established, and all material is double-bagged before leaving site.
All removed material is transported to an HSE-approved licensed disposal facility. Upon completion, you receive a consignment note confirming your waste was disposed of legally.
Public and employer liability insurance at £10 million sits behind every single porch removal job we take on, no exceptions.
Every operative is UKATA-trained and employed directly by us, never brought in through an agency or a subcontractor.
Written confirmation lands within 48 hours of your survey, and that figure holds firm once work actually begins.
Waste goes to an HSE-approved facility every single time, with a consignment note issued as proof on every job.
FAQS
You can’t confirm it just by looking. Any corrugated or flat porch roof built before 2000 should be treated as a possible asbestos material until it’s professionally tested. We arrange this testing as a standard part of our initial free survey.
Cement that’s intact and undisturbed carries a relatively low immediate risk. That risk rises sharply once sheets start cracking, weathering, or get disturbed by building work or a pressure washer. If you spot any signs of deterioration, get a professional assessment before anyone uses or disturbs that area further.
No. Even though asbestos cement counts as a lower-risk material, removal still has to be carried out by a UKATA-trained operative under current HSE procedures. Doing it yourself is a criminal offence under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, and it risks exposing both your household and your neighbours to airborne fibres.
We can. Replacement panels in felt, fibre cement or other approved materials can go on during the same visit as the removal. Just mention it when you book your free survey, and we’ll include indicative replacement costs in your fixed written quote.
It depends on the porch size, the number of sheets and the condition they’re in. We give you a fixed written quote within 48 hours of a free survey, and that figure covers labour, licensed disposal and your consignment note, with nothing hidden.
For a standard porch removal, you just need to stay clear of the immediate work area while the job’s underway, not leave the house entirely. Our operatives put the right controls in place before touching a single sheet, and we’ll let you know as soon as the area is safe to use again.
Most porch roof jobs across Southampton are finished within a single working day. We’ll confirm the expected timescale in your fixed written quote before anything starts, and most jobs barely disrupt the rest of the property.
Usually not. Corrugated and flat porch roofs generally fall into the non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed category under HSE regulations, so a full licence isn’t needed, though the work still has to be carried out by a UKATA-trained operative. We’ll confirm the exact category at your free survey.
Yes. We cover Southampton and a 15-mile radius around it, including Eastleigh, Fareham, Totton, Romsey and the towns in between. Send us your postcode and we’ll confirm the same day whether you’re within our service area.
