FAQs for Matchams
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.
My garage in Matchams has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Weighing up your options
What about painting or overcladding? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
- High winds can delay roof work
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Fixings and bolts
- Bargeboards
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
After we have finished in Matchams
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
