About our asbestos garage roof removal in Brockenhurst
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Brockenhurst. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. From single garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Brockenhurst, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

We work in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Brockenhurst to Southampton (about 11 miles away).
If you let a house with a garage near Brockenhurst station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. The New Forest National Park is within about a mile, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs. The sea is within about 5 miles; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.

How we price garage roof removal
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- The size of the job
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
- Parking and access charges
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
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.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How we work
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Brockenhurst by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Brockenhurst questions
Do you cover Brockenhurst and the area around Brockenhurst station?
Yes. Brockenhurst station is close to the centre of Brockenhurst, and we cover the whole area.
Is asbestos common in Brockenhurst homes?
Any home in Brockenhurst built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Brockenhurst, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
