- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed

In Drayton, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.

The scope of garage roof removal
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is usually a separate job
- Different materials need a different approach
- High winds can delay roof work
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Roof felt
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Drayton questions
My garage in Drayton 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 work near Appleford station?
Yes. Appleford station is about 3 miles east of Drayton, and we cover both.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do you cover Drayton?
Yes, Drayton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
