About our asbestos garage roof removal in Yaverland
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about block garages and lean-tos and carports.
Rural garages near Yaverland are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Yaverland
Do you cover small places like Yaverland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Yaverland has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Yaverland, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Where asbestos turns up
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across the Isle of Wight.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Sheet garages
- Block garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
In Yaverland, many garages and sheds were added decades ago.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Give us a rough size
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
