Asbestos garage roof removal near Aston Upthorpe
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Common materials are bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about old, cracked sheets and storm-damaged sheets.
In a village like Aston Upthorpe, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Aston Upthorpe
Do you cover Aston Upthorpe and the area around Cholsey station?
Yes. Cholsey station is about 1.8 miles east of Aston Upthorpe, and we cover both.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Access to the area
- How many samples are needed
- How much there is
- What the material is and its state
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Street parking nearby
- Cracks or breaks
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Aston Upthorpe

These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-to roofs
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Around Churn Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Any exclusions
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Suitable insurance for the work
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Aston Upthorpe, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.

Things not to do
