How asbestos garage roof removal works in Burley
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Burley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Burley garages: local notes
Burley is in Hampshire. We work across Burley and the surrounding area, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Burley is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
In Burley, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Around Linbrook Lake, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. Burley is within about a mile of the New Forest National Park, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.
This part of Hampshire takes in BH24, and your garage roof job can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include The Mall, The Cross and Doveys Close, and garage roof removal is available on all of them. Nearby, we also cover Burley Street (1 mile north-west), Bagnum (2 miles west), Foulford (2 miles north-west), Crow (3 miles west) and Forest Corner (3 miles north-west). Further out, we also cover Totton (11 miles north-east), Lymington (8 miles south-east), Romsey (15 miles north-east), Hythe (13 miles east), New Milton (5 miles south) and Ringwood (4 miles west).
Open spaces near Burley include Blashford Lakes and Linbrook Lake.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Burley, 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.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Burley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Burley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Burley homes?
If your home in Burley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages due for demolition
- Block garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single and double garage roofs
If you are a landlord with garages near Sway station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Which option is right?
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Why people choose us

- Covering London and the South East
- Clear advice on your options

Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
