Dean: your questions answered
Do you cover Dean from London?
We cover Dean, about 60 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Dean have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Dean may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
What affects the price in Dean
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- Material and condition
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Disposal costs
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- An idea of size
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

Duty holders and landlords in Dean
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Sheet garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
- Single garages
If you let a house with a garage near Botley station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Before you book anyone

- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
