Asbestos garage roof removal in Pilley
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s lean-tos and carports and single garages, we cover cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like Pilley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Pilley is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Warn neighbours if needed

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Hampshire still have them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garage conversions
- Garages being knocked down
- Pieces of broken roof
Around Boldre Foreshore, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.
Questions to ask before booking
- What category of work it is
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the work will be done, and the controls used

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
FAQs for Pilley
Do you cover Pilley and the area around Lymington Town station?
Yes. Lymington Town station is about 1.5 miles south of Pilley, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.

Yes, we do: Pilley is within the area we cover in Hampshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
