Asbestos garage roof removal for Shillingford properties
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From storm-damaged sheets and single and double garage roofs, we deal with downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Shillingford are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Parking and access charges
- Disposal costs
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A rough size or measurement
- A close-up from a safe distance
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Every job is quoted in writing. Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form with the details.

Common questions in Shillingford
Do you cover small places like Shillingford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.

What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
For businesses and landlords in Shillingford
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
