Asbestos garage roof removal for Barton on Sea properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people usually contact us about lean-to roofs and garages being knocked down.
In areas like Barton on Sea, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Barton on Sea questions
My garage in Barton on Sea has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Barton on Sea and the area around New Milton station?
Yes. New Milton station is about 1 mile north of Barton on Sea, and we cover both.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

For businesses and landlords in Barton on Sea

What it costs

Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see

- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts

Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork

Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
