About our asbestos garage roof removal in Oving
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about roofs to clear before demolition and garages due a new roof.
Rural garages near Oving are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Common questions in Oving
Do you cover Oving and the area around Chichester station?
Yes, we cover Oving and the area towards Chichester station, about 2.7 miles west.
Do you come out to small villages like Oving?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
