Asbestos garage roof removal for Aston Rowant
Asbestos garage roof removal in Aston Rowant
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Aston Rowant tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and people normally contact us about broken sheets after high winds and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Aston Rowant may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Aston Rowant
Do you come out to small villages like Aston Rowant?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Aston Rowant has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
