Asbestos garage roof removal for Nursling
Asbestos garage roof removal for Nursling properties
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical materials include cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garages in a row or block and storm-damaged sheets.
In Nursling, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
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.

Nursling: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you work near Redbridge station?
Yes. Redbridge station is about 1.6 miles south of Nursling, and we cover both.
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 help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.

Near open spaces such as Testwood Lakes, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.

The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles, where garages often sit alongside barns and outbuildings with similar roofs. The sea is within about 5 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.
