Asbestos garage roof removal in Morton
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The size of the job
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Disposal costs
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement

Morton questions
My garage in Morton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Morton and the area around Brading station?
Yes. Brading station is about 0.6 miles north-east of Morton, and we cover both.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across the Isle of Wight.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single garages
- Old, cracked sheets
For rented homes with garages close to Brading station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- What is not included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note

Helpful guides
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
Your options compared
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Our guide covers the options. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Duty holders and landlords in Morton
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Morton were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we have finished:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
