Asbestos garage roof removal near Radley
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Radley. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. Typical materials include bargeboards, ridge pieces and downpipes, and people generally contact us about garages due a new roof and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Radley may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Radley: your questions answered
My garage in Radley has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you come out to small villages like Radley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is normally a short job, though access and condition affect it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
