Asbestos garage roof removal in Enstone
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include brittle, leaking roofs and lean-to roofs, involving bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
Garages around Enstone may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What happens next
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Give us a rough size
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Double garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
Properties near Blenheim Farm may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Weighing up your options

FAQs for Enstone
Do you come out to small villages like Enstone?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Enstone from London?
We cover Enstone, about 65 miles from central London.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then release the fixings and lower each sheet whole. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Enstone by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We plan the access and the waste
- We time it around your roofer
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
