How asbestos garage roof removal works in St. Ebbes
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. We often deal with cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and people typically contact us about old, cracked sheets and concrete-panel garages.
In towns and villages like St. Ebbes, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Typical garage roof jobs in St. Ebbes
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garage conversions
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Old, cracked sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near Headington Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
