Asbestos garage roof removal in Fencott
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and garages due for demolition, including bargeboards, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Fencott are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Fencott garages: local notes
Fencott is about 4 miles south of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Properties in Fencott range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. We work in all 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Fencott to Oxford (7 miles away).
If you let a house with a garage near Islip station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it. In Fencott, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Here we cover the OX5 postcode area.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Fencott, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.

Fencott questions
Do you cover small places like Fencott?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Fencott has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Where do the sheets go?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
