Asbestos garage roof removal in Ovington
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Ovington is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and broken sheets after high winds.
In towns and villages like Ovington, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we are done:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
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.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Common questions in Ovington
Are garage roofs in Ovington generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Ovington from London?
We cover Ovington, about 56 miles from central London.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you cover Ovington?
We do: our area includes Ovington and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What it might be made of
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
