Asbestos garage roof removal for Bletchingdon
Asbestos garage roof removal for Bletchingdon 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. People often contact us about lean-to roofs and double garages, including cement gutters, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets.
In a village like Bletchingdon, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Helpful guides
Common questions in Bletchingdon
My garage in Bletchingdon has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Bletchingdon and the area around Tackley station?
Yes. Tackley station is about 2.1 miles north-west of Bletchingdon, and we cover both.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
What happens next
File the waste paperwork: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Let us know where we can park
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
