Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Duns Tew
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. From lean-to roofs and single garages, we deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Duns Tew, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duns Tew questions
Could my house in Duns Tew contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Duns Tew can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Duns Tew and the area around Heyford station?
Yes, we cover Duns Tew and the area towards Heyford station, about 2.8 miles south-east.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Duns Tew by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
