Asbestos garage roof removal in Botley
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and garages due a new roof, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Homes in areas like Botley often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

Common questions in Botley
My garage in Botley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Botley homes?
If your home in Botley was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- High winds can delay roof work
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
