Asbestos garage roof removal for Shenington properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Shenington is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical jobs include block garages and roofs to clear before demolition, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In places like Shenington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Good to know
Worth knowing before booking:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes

- Corrugated cement sheets

- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid

Shenington: your questions answered
My garage in Shenington 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 Shenington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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, which is why it’s identified before work.
Is my garage roof in Shenington asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
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.
Your options compared
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
