Responsibilities for owners
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Why people call us in Hardwick
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which need careful clearing.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Garages due a new roof
- Block garages
- Sheet garages
- Single and double garage roofs
Older houses in Hardwick, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Also near Hardwick
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Hardwick questions
Do you cover small places like Hardwick?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
My garage in Hardwick has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Hardwick?
We do: Hardwick is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
