Your questions about garage roof removal in Shellingford
My garage in Shellingford 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.
Do you come out to small villages like Shellingford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
For businesses and landlords in Shellingford
If you run a business from older premises in Shellingford, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. Late-December sunset in Shellingford is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
