Asbestos garage roof removal near New Milton
About our asbestos garage roof removal in New Milton
An old asbestos cement garage roof in New Milton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From garages being knocked down and pieces of broken roof, we deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In places like New Milton, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

What we deal with in New Milton
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages in a row or block
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
Near open spaces such as Milford on Sea LNR, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Common questions in New Milton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover New Milton and the area around New Milton station?
Yes. New Milton station is close to the centre of New Milton, and we cover the whole area.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.

- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
