Asbestos garage roof removal in Shurlock Row
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Shurlock Row
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Common materials are cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and people usually contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garages due for demolition.
In places like Shurlock Row, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Shurlock Row questions
How far is Shurlock Row from London?
We cover Shurlock Row, about 31 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Shurlock Row have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shurlock Row can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.

What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
