Asbestos garage roof removal in North Oxford
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about single and double garage roofs and carport roofs, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In towns and villages like North Oxford, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about garage roof removal in North Oxford
Are garage roofs in North Oxford generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover North Oxford and the area around Oxford station?
Yes, we cover North Oxford and the area towards Oxford station, about 1.4 miles south.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
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.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. We plan garage roof jobs in North Oxford for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
After we have finished in North Oxford
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Your options compared
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
