About our asbestos garage roof removal in Shackleford
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about pieces of broken roof and roofs to clear before demolition.
In a village like Shackleford, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Common questions in Shackleford
Are garage roofs in Shackleford normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is normally a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What it costs

- How easy it is to reach

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
