Asbestos garage roof removal for Nettlecombe
Asbestos garage roof removal in Nettlecombe
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and garage blocks, including cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes.
In a village like Nettlecombe, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Typical garage roof jobs in Nettlecombe
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-to roofs
- Garage blocks
For rented homes with garages close to Shanklin station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Whether the job needs notifying
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Should you do 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, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Give us a rough size
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never cut or break the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Nettlecombe questions
Do you come out to small villages like Nettlecombe?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do older homes in Nettlecombe have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my garage roof in Nettlecombe asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Nettlecombe?
Yes, Nettlecombe is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
