Asbestos garage roof removal near Brighstone
Many garages built before 2000, in Brighstone and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Whether it’s single garages and broken sheets after high winds, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
In a village like Brighstone, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Brighstone
Do older homes in Brighstone have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Brighstone 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 a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
