About our asbestos garage roof removal in Cranmore
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and carport roofs, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Garages around Cranmore may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What happens

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What affects the price in Cranmore
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access to the area

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Cranmore, you have a duty to 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 the job
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep pets and children inside
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What it might be made of
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.

Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
How we work in Cranmore
- Domestic and commercial work
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Clear written quotes

Garage roofs in Cranmore
Cranmore is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Properties in Cranmore range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Cranmore is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 14 miles away.
Around Compton Down, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. Cranmore is within about 5 miles of the coast, and on exposed sites wind decides when roof sheets can be taken down safely.

Cranmore: your questions answered
Do you work near Lymington Pier station?
Yes. Lymington Pier station is about 4.9 miles north-west of Cranmore, and we cover both.
My garage in Cranmore has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Cranmore asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. A sample test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
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.
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.
In older properties, we often see:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Double garages
For rented homes with garages close to Lymington Pier station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
