Asbestos garage roof removal for Barton properties
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and garages due for demolition, we deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels and more.
In areas like Barton, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We only recommend work that is needed.

If you let a house with a garage near Oxford station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Questions from Barton
Do you cover Barton and the area around Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 3.3 miles west of Barton, and we cover both.
How far is Barton from London?
Barton is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
