Asbestos garage roof removal near Fairford Leys
Removing cement roof sheets is typically non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical jobs include storm-damaged sheets and old, cracked sheets, including cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Fairford Leys, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Don’ts
Never cut or break the sheets.

Questions from Fairford Leys
Do you work near Aylesbury station?
Yes, we cover Fairford Leys and the area towards Aylesbury station, about 1 mile east.
Could my house in Fairford Leys contain asbestos?
Any home in Fairford Leys 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 work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.

Responsibilities for owners

The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
