About our asbestos garage roof removal in Headington Hill
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Headington Hill tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From garages due a new roof and sheet garages, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels and more.
In a smaller place like Headington Hill, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Common questions in Headington Hill
Could my house in Headington Hill contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Headington Hill may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Headington Hill and the area towards Oxford station, about 1.9 miles west.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is my garage roof in Headington Hill asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
