Asbestos garage roof removal in Poundon
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Poundon
Many garages built before 2000, in Poundon and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. Whether it’s single garages and garages in a row or block, we cover corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels and more.
Rural garages near Poundon are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
A few practical points:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.

Do you come out to small villages like Poundon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Poundon from London?

My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How can I get a price?

When can you start?

Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Poundon
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
These come up again and again:
- Garages being knocked down
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Single garages

If you let a house with a garage near Bicester North station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
