Asbestos garage roof removal in Shalcombe
Asbestos garage roof removal in Shalcombe
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and block garages.
Garages around Shalcombe may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris.
Staying safe afterwards:
- File the waste paperwork
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

FAQs for Shalcombe
Are garage roofs in Shalcombe typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Shalcombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
