DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.

The process
Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere. In December, it’s dark in Eynsham by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Describe the garage
- We plan the access and the waste
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage

What else we do in Eynsham
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Why people call us in Eynsham
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages in a row or block
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Pieces of broken roof
Around Cumnor Hill, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Eynsham
My garage in Eynsham has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do older homes in Eynsham have asbestos?
Any home in Eynsham built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Eynsham?
We do: Eynsham is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos for a quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does licensed work mean?
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 give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
