How asbestos garage roof removal works in Arreton
Single, double and block garages, lean-tos and carports in Arreton all have roofs like these. Tell us the size and send photos. From sheet garages and garages due a new roof, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
In a village like Arreton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Arreton garages: local notes
Arreton is about 3 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Properties in Arreton range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We work in all 125 towns and villages across the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. Our area stretches from Arreton to Southampton (18 miles away).
Properties near Alverstone Mead may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once. For rented homes with garages close to Sandown station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. Arreton is within about 4 miles of the coast; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.
We cover garage roof jobs across PO30 and the streets around it. Local streets include Cherrywood View, Hopkins Walk and Hazely Combe; we cover every one. Nearby, we also cover Merstone (1 mile south-west), Downend (1 mile north), Hale Common (1 mile south), Newchurch (1 mile south-east) and Branstone (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Newport (3 miles north-west), Ryde (5 miles north-east), Cowes (7 miles north-west), Sandown (4 miles east), Shanklin (4 miles south-east) and Ventnor (5 miles south). Remote sites take a little more planning, so contact us in good time.
Arreton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

Questions from Arreton
Do older homes in Arreton have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Arreton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. In December, it’s dark in Arreton by about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- 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
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
Getting a price
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
