Asbestos garage roof removal in Sheepdrove
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and garage blocks, we deal with downpipes, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Sheepdrove are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Sheepdrove, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

FAQs for Sheepdrove
My garage in Sheepdrove has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is my garage roof in Sheepdrove asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
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.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
