Across Ardington, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ardington
Many garages built before 2000, in Ardington and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From roofs to clear before demolition and single garages, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes.
Rural garages near Ardington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what garage roof removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Ardington questions
Is asbestos common in Ardington homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Ardington can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Ardington from London?
We cover Ardington, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover Ardington?
We do: our area includes Ardington and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Options to consider in Ardington
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
