About our asbestos garage roof removal in Faringdon
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and broken sheets after high winds, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
Homes in places like Faringdon often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Your options compared
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Faringdon
Do you cover Faringdon from London?
We cover Faringdon, about 65 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Faringdon generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Is my garage roof in Faringdon 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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garage blocks
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages due a new roof
Near open spaces such as Badbury Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding.
Before you book anyone
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Which areas and materials are covered
Responsibilities for owners
