How asbestos garage roof removal works in Headington Quarry
Many garages built before 2000, in Headington Quarry and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical jobs include concrete-panel garages and roofs to clear before demolition, including cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In Headington Quarry, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Headington Quarry
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.

- Garages being knocked down

- Sheet garages
- Storm-damaged sheets
Across Headington Quarry, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

Questions from Headington Quarry
My garage in Headington Quarry has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Headington Quarry homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
