FAQs for Chale
Could my house in Chale contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Chale typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chale
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Chale. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and cement gutters, and people typically contact us about lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets.
In areas like Chale, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

- Corrugated cement sheets
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
What to photograph
The most useful photos are:
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A close-up from a safe distance
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Chale garages: local notes
Chale is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Chale is part of the area we cover, from older terraces and semis to flats, workplaces and outbuildings. Chale is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. Our area stretches from Chale to Southampton (22 miles away).
Around Stenbury Down, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. The sea is within about 6 miles, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.
We cover garage roof jobs across PO38 and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Church Place, Upper House Lane and Blythe Shute or anywhere nearby, the process is the same. Neighbouring places we cover include Blackgang (1 mile south-east), Pyle (1 mile north-west), Chale Green (1 mile north), Atherfield Green (1 mile north-west) and Niton (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (11 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (8 miles north-east), Shanklin (7 miles east) and Ventnor (5 miles east). If the property is somewhere remote, tell us early so we can plan the journey.
Chale is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
Other landmarks nearby include Whitecroft Hospital (5.2 miles north) and Blackgang Sawmill Museum (0.6 miles south). The countryside around Chale includes Stenbury Down.
What we deal with in Chale
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.

- Garages due for demolition
- Sheet garages

- Brittle, leaking roofs
Older houses in Chale, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

- How the work will be done, and the controls used

For businesses and landlords in Chale
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
