Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Roof felt
We will tell you if it needs testing.

Ewelme: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Ewelme homes?
If your home in Ewelme was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Ewelme?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is my garage roof in Ewelme asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
After we have finished in Ewelme
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Lean-tos and carports
- Double garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
Across Ewelme, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.
Questions to ask before you book
- Suitable insurance for the work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Any exclusions
