About our asbestos garage roof removal in Banbury
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and single garages.
In a town like Banbury, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, and many are now brittle. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.
After the job

After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.

Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single and double garage roofs
Near open spaces such as Crouch Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Banbury: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Banbury homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Banbury may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Banbury from London?
Banbury is about 66 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
