Asbestos garage roof removal near Oakridge
Asbestos garage roof removal near Oakridge
Many garages built before 2000, in Oakridge and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. From prefab garages with cement walls and lean-to roofs, we cover ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes and more.
In Oakridge, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

How it works
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing, so there’s no confusion. We plan garage roof jobs in Oakridge for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Let us know if something’s broken

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Questions from Oakridge
Are garage roofs in Oakridge usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work near Basingstoke station?
Yes, we cover Oakridge, including the streets around Basingstoke station.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Once we are done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Give us a rough size
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Never cut or break the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
