Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single garages
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
For rented homes with garages close to Little Kimble station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Chalkshire
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about sheet garages and garages in a row or block, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In places like Chalkshire, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Duty holders and landlords in Chalkshire
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Chalkshire were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Chalkshire: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Chalkshire?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Chalkshire homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Ask for the waste paperwork. Our quotes are clear about VAT.

Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Chalkshire is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Tell us about parking and access
