About our asbestos garage roof removal in Bonchurch
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. From roofs to clear before demolition and garages due a new roof, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Bonchurch may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Towns and villages near Bonchurch
Your questions about garage roof removal in Bonchurch
Do you cover Bonchurch and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Bonchurch and the area towards Shanklin station, about 2.4 miles north.
Do you come out to small villages like Bonchurch?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Duty holders and landlords in Bonchurch
If you run a business from older premises in Bonchurch, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Bonchurch must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
After we have finished in Bonchurch
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Clear advice on your options
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
Take a look at our prices page or published price ranges.
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 advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we do and don’t cover
A few things to be aware of:
- High winds can delay roof work
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. Late-December sunset in Bonchurch is about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
