Asbestos garage roof removal across SO41
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around SO41. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. People often contact us about double garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork

SO41: garages, outbuildings and roofs
From Lymington, Ashley and Milford on Sea to its villages, SO41 has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings. The New Forest National Park is within easy reach of places across SO41, where barns and outbuildings with cement sheeting are a common sight. 26 of the places we cover in SO41 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Lymington: In Lymington, many garages and sheds were added decades ago. If you let a house with a garage near Lymington Town station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. In December, it’s dark in Lymington by about 4:05pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The method and controls
- Suitable insurance for the work
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in SO41
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages being knocked down
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Block garages
- Double garages
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and does not cover:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
After we’ve finished in SO41
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.

Common questions in SO41
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
