Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are downpipes, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and people normally contact us about garage blocks and carport roofs.
In places like Setley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.
FAQs for Setley
Do you work near Brockenhurst station?
Yes. Brockenhurst station is about 0.6 miles north of Setley, and we cover both.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Options to consider in Setley
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

For businesses and landlords in Setley
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
For managing agents and freeholders in Setley, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Looking after things afterwards
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What’s included, and what isn’t
A few things to be aware of:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- High winds can delay roof work
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is generally a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels

How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- The category of work
- Disposal costs
- The quantity or area
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Approximate dimensions
- A wide shot showing where the material is
