Choosing the right option
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

- Lean-tos and carports

- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single garages
Across Catslip, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

Questions from Catslip
How far is Catslip from London?
Catslip is about 38 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Henley-On-Thames station?
Yes, we cover Catslip and the area towards Henley-On-Thames station, about 4.4 miles south-east.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Is my garage roof in Catslip asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Duty holders and landlords in Catslip
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Catslip, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
How we work
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. We’ll tell you when we’ve finished and what you will receive afterwards. In December, it’s dark in Catslip by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

What it costs
The cost depends on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The quantity or area
- Travel and parking
- Waste quantity and disposal
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An overall view
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
