Asbestos garage roof removal for Roxbourne properties
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Roxbourne tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and pieces of broken roof, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
In London neighbourhoods like Roxbourne, garage blocks are found on estates and behind terraces, so check who owns the block. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Roxbourne: your questions answered
My garage in Roxbourne has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Could my house in Roxbourne contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Roxbourne may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is my garage roof in Roxbourne asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.

Afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
What’s included, and what is not
To be clear about the scope:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
For businesses and landlords in Roxbourne
If you run a business from older premises in Roxbourne, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Choosing the right option
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Across Roxbourne, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. For rented homes with garages close to South Ruislip station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Double garages
- Old, cracked sheets
- Block garages
- Carport roofs
Around Islip Manor Meadows, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
