Asbestos garage roof removal in Easton
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The size of the job
- The type of material and its condition
- Access to the area
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Easton
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. People often contact us about double garages and garage blocks, including cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Rural garages near Easton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We work across Easton and the surrounding area, on everything from houses and flats to workplaces and garages. Easton is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we work. We work right across the region, from Easton to Southampton (18 miles away).
Near open spaces such as Afton Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once. The sea is within about a mile; roof removal on exposed coastal sites is planned around the wind.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Easton
Could my house in Easton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Easton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Easton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Step by step
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. Late-December sunset in Easton is about 4:05pm, 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
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
