Asbestos garage roof removal near Oakfield

An old asbestos cement garage roof in Oakfield tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. From sheet garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets and more.

In towns and villages like Oakfield, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Options to consider in Oakfield

Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Good to know

We’re upfront about what’s included:

Different materials need a different approach
Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Materials in Oakfield

Roof felt
Gutters and downpipes
Corrugated cement sheets
Fixings and bolts
Cement wall panels
Ridge pieces
Bargeboards

After we’ve finished in Oakfield

The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Keep pets and children inside
Plan the new roof before removal
Let neighbours know beforehand
Measure or estimate the size of the roof

What to avoid

Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

Materials, one by one

Gutters and downpipes

They’re removed whole where possible.

Fixings

Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.

DIY and asbestos

A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

How it works

After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Oakfield by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed

Questions from Oakfield

Do you cover Oakfield and the area around Ryde St Johns Road station?

Yes, we cover Oakfield, including the streets around Ryde St Johns Road station.

Do older homes in Oakfield have asbestos?

Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.

How dangerous is asbestos?

Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need access to every area involved in the job.

Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?

Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.

How long does it take to remove a garage roof?

It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is typically quick once we are set up.

Can you advise before I buy a property?

Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

What does licensed work mean?

Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
