Asbestos garage roof removal near Osidge
What happens next
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Avoid these
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Osidge
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, all wrapped for disposal. From lean-to roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
Garages around Osidge are often at the end of a garden or in a block off a rear lane, so getting the sheets out takes planning. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Questions from Osidge
Do you work near Oakleigh Park station?
Yes. Oakleigh Park station is about 1 mile west of Osidge, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Osidge usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Osidge were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
