How asbestos garage roof removal works in Uffington
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Uffington is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and garages in a row or block, including cement wall panels, downpipes and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Uffington are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then take the waste away. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions. In December, it’s dark in Uffington by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Find any old asbestos reports

FAQs for Uffington
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you come out to small villages like Uffington?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Uffington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
After we’ve finished in Uffington
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
