Common questions in Totland
My garage in Totland has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Totland homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Totland
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s single garages and pieces of broken roof, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
In towns and villages like Totland, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Concrete-panel garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Lean-tos and carports
In Totland, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Comparing quotes
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Covering London and the South East
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
