Asbestos garage roof removal for Westcott properties
If you are not sure your garage roof in Westcott is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Common materials are cement gutters, downpipes and cement wall panels, and people typically contact us about old, cracked sheets and double garages.
Rural garages near Westcott are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Responsibilities for owners
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Materials, one by one
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.

Questions from Westcott
Do older homes in Westcott have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Westcott can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Westcott and the area towards Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 4.2 miles east.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
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 take a sample without going on the roof.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
