Asbestos garage roof removal in Hinksey Hill
Many garages built before 2000, in Hinksey Hill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement gutters, and people usually contact us about storm-damaged sheets and garages in a row or block.
Garages around Hinksey Hill may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Helpful guides
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
A few practical points:
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Written quotes that say what’s included
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Common questions in Hinksey Hill
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Hinksey Hill and the area towards Oxford station, about 2 miles north.
Could my house in Hinksey Hill contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Hinksey Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
