About our asbestos garage roof removal in Shillinglee
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. People often contact us about lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Shillinglee may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
A few practical points:
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Never cut or break the sheets.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

Options to consider in Shillinglee
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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Shillinglee
Could my house in Shillinglee contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
