How asbestos garage roof removal works in Shanklin
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Shanklin tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From broken sheets after high winds and old, cracked sheets, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes and more.
In places like Shanklin, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Weighing up your options
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Double garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Shanklin station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
