Asbestos garage roof removal in New Hinksey
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and lean-tos and carports, including cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes.
In areas like New Hinksey, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

New Hinksey: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in New Hinksey homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in New Hinksey typically asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you cover New Hinksey?
We do: New Hinksey is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in New Hinksey
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages being knocked down
For rented homes with garages close to Oxford station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
