Asbestos garage roof removal near Shalstone
Asbestos garage roof removal in Shalstone
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s block garages and double garages, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes and more.
Garages around Shalstone may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Shalstone questions
My garage in Shalstone has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Shalstone contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Shalstone may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Do you cover Shalstone?
Yes. We cover Shalstone and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

What it costs

Our quotes are clear about VAT.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:

- Visible markings
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- The access route
You’ll get a written quote. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page with the details.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
