Asbestos garage roof removal in Charlton-on-Otmoor
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Whether it’s garage blocks and garage conversions, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes.
In areas like Charlton-on-Otmoor, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Charlton-on-Otmoor questions
Do you cover Charlton-on-Otmoor and the area around Islip station?
Yes. Islip station is about 2.3 miles west of Charlton-on-Otmoor, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Charlton-on-Otmoor?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
