How asbestos garage roof removal works in Shipley
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and concrete-panel garages.
In areas like Shipley, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

DIY and asbestos

Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Shipley: your questions answered
Do you cover Shipley from London?
We cover Shipley, about 37 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Shipley homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in Shipley?
Yes, Shipley is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.

Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

After the job
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Give us a rough size
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
How we work
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you. In December, it’s dark in Shipley by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Move things out of the way carefully
