About our asbestos garage roof removal in Little Atherfield
Removing cement roof sheets is usually 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 brittle, leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, involving downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In places like Little Atherfield, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If your business premises in Little Atherfield were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Little Atherfield
Are garage roofs in Little Atherfield typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Little Atherfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Why people call us in Little Atherfield
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across the Isle of Wight.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Near open spaces such as Brighstone Down, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
