Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Woodlands were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Questions from Woodlands
Do you come out to small villages like Woodlands?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
