Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From roofs to clear before demolition and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes and more.

Helpful guides
Afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
What to avoid
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Frilford Heath
Do you cover Frilford Heath from London?

Do you cover Frilford Heath and the area around Radley station?

Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.

Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
