Asbestos garage roof removal near Blewbury
Asbestos garage roof removal near Blewbury
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garage conversions and single and double garage roofs.
Rural garages near Blewbury are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

The scope of garage roof removal
A few things to be aware of:
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Blewbury
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Roof felt
We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Why people call us in Blewbury
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
Older houses in Blewbury, near Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the price includes VAT
