Asbestos garage roof removal in Godshill
Asbestos garage roof removal near Godshill
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include ridge pieces, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and double garages.
Rural garages near Godshill are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Godshill
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Godshill and the area towards Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles east.
Do you come out to small villages like Godshill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work in flats?

Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Why people call us in Godshill
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.

- Sheet garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
Around Stenbury Down, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After we’ve finished in Godshill
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Keep weight off the roof.
