Asbestos garage roof removal near Foreland Fields
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about storm-damaged sheets and lean-to roofs.
Garages around Foreland Fields may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before you book:

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels

- Gutters and downpipes

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After the job
We clear up and check for fragments.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Double garages
- Block garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Storm-damaged sheets
If you are a landlord with garages near Brading station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- VAT, clearly stated
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
Duty holders and landlords in Foreland Fields
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Foreland Fields, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Foreland Fields is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Common questions in Foreland Fields
Do you cover small places like Foreland Fields?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Foreland Fields contain asbestos?
If your home in Foreland Fields was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.

Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
