How asbestos garage roof removal works in Aston Tirrold
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include single garages and garage conversions, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
Garages around Aston Tirrold may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Aston Tirrold: your questions answered
Do you cover Aston Tirrold and the area around Cholsey station?
Yes. Cholsey station is about 1.8 miles east of Aston Tirrold, and we cover both.
My garage in Aston Tirrold has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you work in Aston Tirrold?
Yes, we do: our area includes Aston Tirrold and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Looking after things afterwards
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
