Hale Common: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Hale Common generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes, we cover Hale Common and the area towards Shanklin station, about 2.5 miles south-east.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you cover Hale Common?
Yes. We cover Hale Common and the surrounding area as part of the Isle of Wight. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- Access to the area
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A clear close-up
- Approximate dimensions
- Visible markings
- How we’d reach it
Every job is quoted in writing. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Choosing the right option
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.
Why us?
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Covering London and the South East
