Asbestos garage roof removal for Shilton
Asbestos garage roof removal near Shilton
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garage conversions and pieces of broken roof, including cement gutters, downpipes and ridge pieces.
In places like Shilton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Shilton: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Shilton homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shilton can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Shilton generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work in Shilton?
Yes. We cover Shilton and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.

Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Why people call us in Shilton
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Single garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages in a row or block
Across Shilton, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note

Duty holders and landlords in Shilton
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Doing it yourself?

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
