FAQs for Shippon
Do you cover Shippon from London?
Shippon is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Shippon usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Shippon properties
Removing cement roof sheets is generally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes, and typical jobs are double garages and sheet garages.
In a village like Shippon, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Shippon, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
