Asbestos garage roof removal in Clanfield
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and double garages.
Rural garages near Clanfield are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Clanfield is planned around daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:30pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Let us know if something’s broken

Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why us?
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options
- Work done to the regulations
- Homes, rented property and workplaces

Looking after things afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we are done:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
Avoid these
Keep weight off the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Typical garage roof jobs in Clanfield
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
In older properties, we often see:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Sheet garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Properties near Badbury Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Duty holders and landlords in Clanfield
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Clanfield questions
Are garage roofs in Clanfield normally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Clanfield from London?
We cover Clanfield, about 66 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What does licensed work mean?
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
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.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Gutters and downpipes
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
