How asbestos garage roof removal works in Oakley
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. Whether it’s pieces of broken roof and double garages, we deal with cement gutters, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
In a smaller place like Oakley, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

Questions from Oakley
Do you work near Overton station?
Yes. Overton station is about 3.7 miles west of Oakley, and we cover both.
Could my house in Oakley 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 Oakley can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
