Asbestos garage roof removal for Idbury
Asbestos garage roof removal for Idbury properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Common materials are downpipes, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and old, cracked sheets.
In places like Idbury, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Step by step
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away. Late-December sunset in Idbury is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote

What we deal with in Idbury
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Roofs to clear before demolition
If you let a house with a garage near Kingham station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
What to look for in a quote
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- If the price includes VAT
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you will receive
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
What drives the price:
- Material and condition
- The quantity or area
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The survey scope
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- A picture of the whole area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Idbury
My garage in Idbury has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover small places like Idbury?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is generally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
