About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chipping Norton
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s brittle, leaking roofs and garages in a row or block, we cover ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement wall panels and more.
In Chipping Norton, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Chipping Norton questions
Do you cover Chipping Norton from London?
Chipping Norton is about 69 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Kingham station?
Yes. Kingham station is about 4.4 miles south-west of Chipping Norton, and we cover both.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
For businesses and landlords in Chipping Norton
For managing agents and freeholders in Chipping Norton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chipping Norton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Which option is right?
What about painting or overcladding? 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. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
The process
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it.

- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
