Asbestos garage roof removal near Langley
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Langley tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From single and double garage roofs and garage conversions, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In a village like Langley, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Why people call us in Langley
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Near open spaces such as Mercury Marshes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
What to look for in a quote
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Whether VAT is included
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
For businesses and landlords in Langley
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
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.
Langley: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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 Langley homes?
Any home in Langley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- High winds can delay roof work
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
