Asbestos garage roof removal for Shide
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Shide
Garage roof removal in Shide normally includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. Typical jobs include double garages and roofs to clear before demolition, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
In Shide, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Avoid these

Never cut or break the sheets.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you manage or own a block in Shide, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Typical garage roof jobs in Shide
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garages being knocked down
- Single and double garage roofs
- Block garages
- Lean-to roofs
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A3020, tell us about parking and access.

Common questions in Shide
Could my house in Shide contain asbestos?
If your home in Shide was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Shide has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
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.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
