Asbestos garage roof removal for Aston
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Aston
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From broken sheets after high winds and single garages, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Aston are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What happens next
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Going forward:
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Step by step
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Aston is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Questions from Aston
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Aston from London?
We cover Aston, about 34 miles from central London.
Is my garage roof in Aston asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you cover Aston?
Yes, Aston is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
