Asbestos garage roof removal for Sandford St Martin properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. From garages before a new roof or conversion and garage blocks, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes and more.
Rural garages near Sandford St Martin are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Sandford St Martin
Do you cover small places like Sandford St Martin?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Heyford station?
Yes. Heyford station is about 4.1 miles east of Sandford St Martin, and we cover both.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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. Photos help us check.

- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Weighing up your options
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Quotes that spell out the scope
- Waste paperwork for every removal
Read how we quote and our cost guide.
What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- How much there is
- Access to the area
- How many samples are needed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Approximate dimensions
- A picture of the whole area
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
To get a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
