Asbestos garage roof removal for Garsington
Asbestos garage roof removal in Garsington
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From prefab garages with cement walls and block garages, we cover cement gutters, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets.
Rural garages near Garsington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
- Lean-tos and carports
If you let a house with a garage near Radley station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Corrugated cement sheets

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Garsington, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why choose us
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Across London and the South East
- Clear written quotes
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
Read how we price jobs or our cost guide.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Garsington is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Mention any parking restrictions
Getting a price
Photos from a safe distance help: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Helpful guides
Garsington questions
Do you come out to small villages like Garsington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Garsington from London?
We cover Garsington, about 48 miles from central London.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What affects the price in Garsington
We base our quote on:
- Disposal costs

What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Cracks or breaks
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Street parking nearby
- A clear close-up
