About our asbestos garage roof removal in Shadoxhurst

In a village like Shadoxhurst, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Shadoxhurst questions
Do older homes in Shadoxhurst have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shadoxhurst can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Shadoxhurst has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Duty holders and landlords in Shadoxhurst
If you run a business from older premises in Shadoxhurst, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion typically mean removal. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
