About our asbestos garage roof removal in Balmerlawn
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about garages in a row or block and carport roofs.
In a village like Balmerlawn, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Older houses in Balmerlawn, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs. The New Forest National Park is within about a mile, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. The sea is within about 6 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Balmerlawn
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Double garages
- Sheet garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Brockenhurst station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

For businesses and landlords in Balmerlawn
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Balmerlawn, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Options to consider in Balmerlawn
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Balmerlawn: your questions answered
Do older homes in Balmerlawn have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Balmerlawn can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Brockenhurst station?
Yes. Brockenhurst station is about 0.9 miles south-west of Balmerlawn, and we cover both.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is usually a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is my garage roof in Balmerlawn asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
