Your questions about garage roof removal in Walton Manor
Is asbestos common in Walton Manor homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Walton Manor can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 0.7 miles south of Walton Manor, and we cover both.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Options to consider in Walton Manor
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there’s a real risk of falling through the roof. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
After the job
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Keep pets and children inside
- Let us know where we can park
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Do not jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- How many samples are needed
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help

- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Labels, if any
- Street parking nearby
- An overall view

What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
