Asbestos garage roof removal for Owlswick properties
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s double garages and sheet garages, we cover bargeboards, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Owlswick, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Owlswick
Do older homes in Owlswick have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Owlswick can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Owlswick generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Is my garage roof in Owlswick asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
How it works
Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away. In December, it’s dark in Owlswick by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
