About our asbestos garage roof removal in Alverstone
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about sheet garages and brittle, leaking roofs.
Garages around Alverstone may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Alverstone must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Questions from Alverstone
Are garage roofs in Alverstone generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Alverstone homes?
If your home in Alverstone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
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.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Is my garage roof in Alverstone asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Good to know
Before you book, note that:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.

Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

What else we do in Alverstone
Alverstone garages: local notes
Alverstone is about 4 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. Properties in Alverstone range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Alverstone is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our area stretches from Alverstone to Southampton (20 miles away).
For rented homes with garages close to Sandown station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Across Alverstone, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Alverstone is within about 2 miles of the coast; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.
We handle garage roof jobs in every part of the PO36 postcode area and the streets around it. Nearby, we also cover Alverstone Garden Village (1 mile north-west), Queen's Bower (1 mile south-west), Skinner's Hill (1 mile west), Adgestone (1 mile north-east) and Lake (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Newport (5 miles north-west), Ryde (4 miles north), Cowes (8 miles north-west), Ventnor (5 miles south), East Cowes (8 miles north-west) and Oakfield (4 miles north). Some remote sites need extra planning, so ask early.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What happens
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. While we work, the area stays out of bounds. In December, it’s dark in Alverstone by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Find any old asbestos reports
