Asbestos garage roof removal for Great Tew
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Great Tew
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Great Tew. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are ridge pieces, cement wall panels and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In towns and villages like Great Tew, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Great Tew
How far is Great Tew from London?
Great Tew is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Are garage roofs in Great Tew usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
For businesses and landlords in Great Tew
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Great Tew, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
