Duty holders and landlords in Charlbury
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Charlbury, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Charlbury
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and lean-tos and carports, we cover corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and cement wall panels and more.
In Charlbury, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

FAQs for Charlbury
Do older homes in Charlbury have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Are garage roofs in Charlbury generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Typically not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

- A photo of the whole area
- Approximate dimensions

Materials, one by one
Roof felt
We’ll say if it should be tested.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
What happens
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on. In December, it’s dark in Charlbury by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Getting ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Tell us about parking and access
