Asbestos garage roof removal near Boars Hill
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Boars Hill
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From sheet garages and single and double garage roofs, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards and more.
Garages around Boars Hill may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Boars Hill: your questions answered
Do you cover small places like Boars Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Boars Hill and the area towards Oxford station, about 2.8 miles north.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Do you cover Boars Hill?
Yes, we do: Boars Hill is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
The process
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there’s no confusion. We plan garage roof jobs in Boars Hill for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Move things out of the way carefully

Helpful guides
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
