Garage roof removal around Pilley Bailey
Pilley Bailey is about 2 miles north-east of Lymington, in Hampshire. We work across Pilley Bailey and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages.

Near open spaces such as Boldre Foreshore, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. Older houses in Pilley Bailey, near Saint Nicholas Chapel or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. The New Forest National Park is within about 4 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way. The sea is within about 3 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Asbestos garage roof removal for Pilley Bailey properties
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical jobs include single garages and carport roofs, involving cement wall panels, ridge pieces and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Pilley Bailey are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Pilley Bailey questions
Do you cover small places like Pilley Bailey?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Pilley Bailey homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we’re set up.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Hampshire.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Double garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
For rented homes with garages close to Lymington Town station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The method and controls
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Pilley Bailey, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
If you manage or own a block in Pilley Bailey, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- Where we could park
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
Share the postcode, a short description and photos: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. We will tell you when we’ve finished and what you’ll receive afterwards. Late-December sunset in Pilley Bailey is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
