Asbestos garage roof removal near Harcourt Hill
If you are not sure your garage roof in Harcourt Hill is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. From block garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
Garages around Harcourt Hill may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Materials, one by one
Fixings
Seized bolts are dealt with carefully.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
How we price garage roof removal
Quotes vary because of:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Cracks or breaks
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.

Harcourt Hill: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Harcourt Hill generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Harcourt Hill and the area towards Oxford station, about 1.4 miles north-east.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
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.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is normally quick once we’re set up.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
