How asbestos garage roof removal works in Godshill
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Godshill tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include garages due a new roof and lean-tos and carports, involving bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Rural garages near Godshill are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

What we deal with in Godshill
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Typical jobs in Godshill include:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Near open spaces such as Blashford Lakes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What is not included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
What happens next
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Godshill: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos common in Godshill homes?
Any home in Godshill built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- The quantity or area
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
