Asbestos garage roof removal in Shipton Green
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Shipton Green tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and prefab garages with cement walls, we cover cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters and more.
Rural garages near Shipton Green are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

Shipton Green: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Shipton Green generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Shipton Green and the area around Bosham station?
Yes, we cover Shipton Green and the area towards Bosham station, about 3.6 miles north.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you cover Shipton Green?
Yes, we do: Shipton Green is within the area we cover in West Sussex. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Shipton Green must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Step by step
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. Garage roof removal in Shipton Green is planned around daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:20pm in June.
- Get in touch with photos
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Before we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

After we have finished in Shipton Green
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Keeping things safe:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof

Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
