Asbestos garage roof removal for New Forest properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in New Forest tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From lean-to roofs and sheet garages, we deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
In areas like New Forest, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in New Forest
Do you cover small places like New Forest?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in New Forest contain asbestos?
If your home in New Forest was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
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
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Single garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-to roofs
Around Western Downs, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How many samples are needed
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
