Asbestos garage roof removal for South Stoke properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are pieces of broken roof and garage blocks.
In a village like South Stoke, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Typical garage roof jobs in South Stoke
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Carport roofs
- Sheet garages
Older houses in South Stoke, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

- How fibres will be kept down

- What paperwork you get
- Any exclusions
Materials we deal with
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
Questions from South Stoke
Could my house in South Stoke contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in South Stoke can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in South Stoke has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
