FAQs for Ashton
Do you come out to small villages like Ashton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Ashton and the area around Botley station?
Yes, we cover Ashton and the area towards Botley station, about 4 miles south-west.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Ashton
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Ashton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. From single and double garage roofs and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters and more.
Garages around Ashton may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What else we do in Ashton
Duty holders and landlords in Ashton
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we deal with in Ashton
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
- Double garages
Across Ashton, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before booking anyone
- The documents you will receive
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What category of work it is
After we have finished in Ashton
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep pets and children inside
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- What the material is and its state
- Disposal costs
- Access to the area
- How much there is
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- A photo of the whole area
- A clear close-up
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
To get a quote, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
What we do and do not cover
