About our asbestos garage roof removal in Luccombe Village
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From garages in a row or block and broken sheets after high winds, we cover cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In areas like Luccombe Village, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

FAQs for Luccombe Village
Is asbestos common in Luccombe Village homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Luccombe Village typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After we’ve finished:
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
The scope of garage roof removal
Before booking, note that:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

For businesses and landlords in Luccombe Village
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
These are some of the things we deal with in Luccombe Village:
- Lean-to roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Sheet garages
- Garages in a row or block
If you are a landlord with garages near Shanklin station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
