Asbestos garage roof removal near Shatterling
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Shatterling
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. We often deal with bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people normally contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and double garages.
In places like Shatterling, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Double garages
- Garage conversions
- Lean-tos and carports
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Properties near Monk's Wall nature reserve may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Shatterling
Do you cover Shatterling from London?

We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
