About asbestos garage roof removal in SO42
An old asbestos cement garage roof in SO42 tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and broken sheets after high winds, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

SO42: garages, outbuildings and roofs
From Brockenhurst, East Boldre and Beaulieu to its villages, SO42 has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings. Parts of SO42 are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, where rural and farm buildings with cement roofs are common. 8 of the places we cover in SO42 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Brockenhurst: If you are a landlord with garages near Brockenhurst station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. Older houses in Brockenhurst, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Garage roof removal in Brockenhurst is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? Sometimes possible on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparation must not disturb the surface. Our guide covers the options.

Questions from SO42
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
