How asbestos garage roof removal works in High Cogges
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include double garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including ridge pieces, cement gutters and bargeboards.
Garages around High Cogges may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Questions from High Cogges
My garage in High Cogges has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is High Cogges from London?
We cover High Cogges, about 61 miles from central London.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in High Cogges?
Yes, High Cogges is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Give us a rough size
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Avoid these
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Why people call us in High Cogges
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Garages due a new roof
If you let a house with a garage near Combe station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
