Asbestos garage roof removal for Bembridge properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s old, cracked sheets and pieces of broken roof, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
Homes in places like Bembridge often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

See how we quote and our cost guide.
Step by step
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, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Bembridge for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- 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
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Mention any parking restrictions

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bembridge
Are garage roofs in Bembridge generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Bembridge contain asbestos?
If your home in Bembridge 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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work in Bembridge?
Yes. We cover Bembridge and the surrounding area as part of the Isle of Wight. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

What it costs
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
- What the material is and its state
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- Visible markings
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- The parking area
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For businesses and landlords in Bembridge
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
After we have finished in Bembridge
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
