Asbestos garage roof removal near Thame
Asbestos garage roof removal for Thame properties
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s garages before a new roof or conversion and single and double garage roofs, we deal with ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In a town like Thame, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Fixings and bolts
- Cement wall panels
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- How much there is
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- The parking area
- The access route
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Send us the address in Thame, a description and some photos: send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749, and we’ll reply with a quote.
What happens next
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we’re done:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Pieces of broken roof
