About our asbestos garage roof removal in Binsey
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and lean-tos and carports, we cover downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
Rural garages near Binsey are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Binsey
Do older homes in Binsey have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Binsey?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

How it works
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Binsey by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote
- We remove the sheets carefully
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear the way to the work area
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
