Why people call us in South Weston
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which need careful clearing.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garages due for demolition
- Carport roofs
- Concrete-panel garages
- Old, cracked sheets
Near open spaces such as Aston Rowant NNR, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get
- VAT, clearly stated
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
What it might be made of
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
Your options compared
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Why us?
- Records for your files
- Accredited laboratory results
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Book your roofer in advance

Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

FAQs for South Weston
Do you come out to small villages like South Weston?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in South Weston contain asbestos?
Any home in South Weston built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
