About our asbestos garage roof removal in Shorthampton
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garages in a row or block and garages due a new roof, we deal with cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In a village like Shorthampton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Shorthampton
Do you cover Shorthampton and the area around Charlbury station?
Yes, we cover Shorthampton and the area towards Charlbury station, about 1.5 miles east.
Is asbestos common in Shorthampton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

Your options compared
Remove it or leave it? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
