Asbestos garage roof removal in Shalden
Asbestos garage roof removal near Shalden
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about broken sheets after high winds and garage blocks.
In a village like Shalden, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Which option is right?
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Accredited laboratory results
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Records for your files

What affects the price in Shalden
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The survey scope
- The type of material and its condition
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
- A photo of the whole area
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. To start, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Shalden
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Single garages
- Pieces of broken roof

- Prefab garages with cement walls
Properties near Holybourne Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

Common questions in Shalden
My garage in Shalden has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Shalden homes?
If your home in Shalden was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
