Asbestos garage roof removal for Thrupp properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and people normally contact us about broken sheets after high winds and block garages.
In places like Thrupp, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Thrupp
Your questions about garage roof removal in Thrupp
Do you come out to small villages like Thrupp?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Thrupp generally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Thrupp asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Weighing up your options
Removal first, then the new roof, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is
- Covering London and the South East
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Reports and results you can share
Read our prices page and published price ranges.
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
After we have finished in Thrupp
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
Where asbestos turns up
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Double garages
- Block garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Concrete-panel garages
If you let a house with a garage near Oxford Parkway station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
