About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chilswell
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In a village like Chilswell, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

The process

Questions from Chilswell
Is asbestos common in Chilswell homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 2 miles north of Chilswell, and we cover both.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

How we price garage roof removal
Prices vary with:
- How much there is
- Parking and access charges
- How many samples are needed
- Waste quantity and disposal
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- A rough size or measurement
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A clear close-up
- Where we could park
For a quote, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
