How asbestos garage roof removal works in Oxfordshire

Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. People often contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and garage conversions, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.

Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.

Oxford: For rented homes with garages close to Oxford station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Garages on busy roads like the A34 and A40 need loading planned in advance. In December, it’s dark in Oxford by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

What we deal with in Oxfordshire

Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Oxfordshire.

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:

Storm-damaged sheets
Garages in a row or block
Garages before a new roof or conversion
Garages being knocked down

Materials we deal with

Roof felt

We will say if it should be tested.

Wall panels

Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.

Choosing the right option

Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal.

Oxfordshire questions

How quickly can you come out?

It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.

What if my house is newer?

Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Do you work on commercial premises?

We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.

Which asbestos work needs a licence?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.

Could my home contain asbestos?

You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.

What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
