About our asbestos garage roof removal in Oxshott
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Oxshott is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about pieces of broken roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
Homes in areas like Oxshott often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Questions from Oxshott
How far is Oxshott from London?
We cover Oxshott, about 16 miles from central London.
Do you cover Oxshott and the area around Oxshott station?
Yes. Oxshott station is close to the centre of Oxshott, and we cover the whole area.
Is my garage roof in Oxshott asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
After we’ve finished in Oxshott
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Typical garage roof jobs in Oxshott
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
People typically contact us about one of these:
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Double garages
If you are a landlord with garages near Oxshott station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Comparing quotes
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- Whether the job needs notifying
- What isn’t included
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking

When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
