How asbestos garage roof removal works in Shepherd's Green
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. From cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and storm-damaged sheets, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes.
Rural garages near Shepherd's Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why us?
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Records for your files
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.

How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Shepherd's Green is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We time it around your roofer
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- You get the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Let us know where we can park

Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Shepherd's Green: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Are garage roofs in Shepherd's Green generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
