Asbestos help in Thorns Beach
Asbestos garage roof removal near Thorns Beach
Many garages built before 2000, in Thorns Beach and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and lean-to roofs, including bargeboards, downpipes and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Thorns Beach are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- What the material is and its state
- The quantity or area
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Cracks or breaks
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Thorns Beach: your questions answered
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Thorns Beach?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.

How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down. Late-December sunset in Thorns Beach is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
