Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Lymington
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From concrete-panel garages and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
In a town like Lymington, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Towns and villages near Lymington
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
FAQs for Lymington
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Could my house in Lymington contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lymington may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Options to consider in Lymington
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
