Asbestos garage roof removal near Leagreen
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Leagreen
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garage blocks and garages due a new roof, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Leagreen are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Duty holders and landlords in Leagreen
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After we have finished in Leagreen
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park

Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

If you let a house with a garage near New Milton station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. In Leagreen, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. The New Forest National Park is within about 6 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. Leagreen is within about 4 miles of the coast, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Leagreen questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near New Milton station?
Yes. New Milton station is about 2.2 miles north-west of Leagreen, and we cover both.
Do you cover Leagreen?
Yes, Leagreen is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
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.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Leagreen
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-to roofs
Properties near Milford on Sea LNR may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
