Asbestos garage roof removal in OX33: what to expect
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement wall panels and downpipes, and people typically contact us about garages due a new roof and pieces of broken roof.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork

OX33: garages, outbuildings and roofs
From Wheatley, Horspath and Beckley to its villages, OX33 has many older garages with cement roofs. Town garages are often in blocks, village ones among outbuildings.
Wheatley: Across Wheatley, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. Near open spaces such as Shotover, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together. In December, it’s dark in Wheatley by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in OX33
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages due a new roof
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garage blocks
After we’ve finished in OX33
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. We wet them and lower them whole.

How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?

Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
