Duty holders and landlords in Aston Abbotts
For managing agents and freeholders in Aston Abbotts, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Aston Abbotts
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and garages in a row or block.
In areas like Aston Abbotts, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- A picture of the whole area
- Visible markings
- The access route
- A rough size or measurement
To get a quote, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Never cut or break the sheets.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Weighing up your options
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.

Aston Abbotts questions
Are garage roofs in Aston Abbotts usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Aston Abbotts?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
