How asbestos garage roof removal works in Barton
Many garages built before 2000, in Barton and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include bargeboards, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about carport roofs and garages due for demolition.
In a smaller place like Barton, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

After we have finished in Barton
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once we are done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The type of material and its condition
- The category of work
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby
- A picture of the whole area
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across the Isle of Wight still have them.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Block garages
Near open spaces such as Briddlesford Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- If the price includes VAT
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
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.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Barton
Are garage roofs in Barton normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Barton have asbestos?
Any home in Barton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
