Asbestos garage roof removal for Benson properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Benson and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include garage blocks and garages being knocked down, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
Homes in towns and villages like Benson often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
For businesses and landlords in Benson
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Benson must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What happens next
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
Don’ts

Benson: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Benson typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Benson contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Benson may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
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.
Where asbestos turns up
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
These are some of the things we deal with in Benson:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
Properties near Ewelme Watercress Beds may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
