Asbestos garage roof removal for Chalgrove properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage blocks, including cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Homes in towns and villages like Chalgrove often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Typical garage roof jobs in Chalgrove
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Block garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages being knocked down
Near open spaces such as Wells Farm, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

Chalgrove questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Chalgrove have asbestos?
If your home in Chalgrove was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you cover Chalgrove?
Yes. We cover Chalgrove and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
