Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
A few practical points:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Never cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Park Town questions
Do you cover Park Town from London?
Park Town is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes, we cover Park Town and the area towards Oxford station, about 0.9 miles south-west.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
