Asbestos garage roof removal near Cutteslowe
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include downpipes, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about broken sheets after high winds and carport roofs.
In a smaller place like Cutteslowe, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

How it works
Access is by ladders, towers or crawling boards, not the fragile sheets. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Cutteslowe by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- 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
Getting ready
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there

With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Cutteslowe must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Cutteslowe
Do older homes in Cutteslowe have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Cutteslowe has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work in Cutteslowe?
Yes. We cover Cutteslowe and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
