Asbestos garage roof removal near Shepperton
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and single and double garage roofs, we cover downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Homes in areas like Shepperton often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.

The scope of garage roof removal
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

- Cement wall panels
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts

If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Shepperton
Is asbestos common in Shepperton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Shepperton 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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Do you work in Shepperton?
We do: our area includes Shepperton and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
