Asbestos garage roof removal for South Weirs properties
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around South Weirs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are storm-damaged sheets and roofs to clear before demolition.
In a village like South Weirs, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Why people call us in South Weirs
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Single garages
- Garages due for demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Block garages
For rented homes with garages close to Brockenhurst station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- If the price includes VAT
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in South Weirs, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your builder.
To avoid problems in future:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

FAQs for South Weirs
My garage in South Weirs has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?

Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
