Asbestos help in Bucknell
Asbestos garage roof removal near Bucknell
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement gutters, downpipes and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about single and double garage roofs and storm-damaged sheets.
Garages around Bucknell may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Bucknell questions
My garage in Bucknell has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Bucknell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do you cover Bucknell?
Yes. We cover Bucknell and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.

Nearby places to Bucknell
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
