Asbestos was commonly used in garages and sheds between the 1930s and the late 1990s, renowned for its fireproofing and durability, but we now know the serious health risks it poses. Left undisturbed, it’s harmless, but with age, damaged or broken areas of asbestos can release dangerous fibres that cause serious long-term health issues.
It’s always safest to trust in a trained, fully protected professional who understands how to handle the hazards of asbestos safely, and follow all the necessary safety regulations.
Where Asbestos is Commonly Found in Garages and Sheds
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM’s) were often used in garages and sheds. These can deteriorate over time or become damaged due to wear and tear, accidents, or renovations, increasing the risk of asbestos fibre release.
- Roof Panels: Corrugated asbestos cement sheets were a popular choice for roofing due to their weatherproof qualities and fire resistance.
- Wall Linings: Asbestos boards or cement sheets were used to insulate and fireproof walls.
- Insulation Boards: Often found in ceilings or walls, these boards provided thermal insulation while adding fire protection.
- Cement Sheets: Used in structural components such as beams, fascias, and soffits, asbestos cement was a common material in many garage and shed designs.

In addition, if the inside of the roof is not encapsulated with paint it will also begin to degrade and release fibres into the area especially after abrasion or knocks.
