Asbestos garage roof removal for Aston
Asbestos garage roof removal for Aston properties
Garage roof removal in Aston typically includes the sheets, ridge pieces, fixings and any asbestos cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. People often contact us about broken sheets after high winds and single garages, involving corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a village like Aston, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Should you do it yourself?
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What happens
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions. In December, it’s dark in Aston by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole

Duty holders and landlords in Aston
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Aston must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common questions in Aston
Do you come out to small villages like Aston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Aston homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Which option is right?
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
