Asbestos garage roof removal in Ventnor
Asbestos garage roof removal for Ventnor properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Ventnor tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are double garages and block garages.
In a smaller place like Ventnor, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. We plan garage roof jobs in Ventnor for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:20pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Ventnor
Do you cover Ventnor and the area around Shanklin station?
Yes. Shanklin station is about 3 miles north-east of Ventnor, and we cover both.
My garage in Ventnor has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Weighing up your options
