About our asbestos garage roof removal in Launton
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s block garages and concrete-panel garages, we cover cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards and more.
Rural garages near Launton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Launton must 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.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Launton
Do you work near Bicester North station?
Yes. Bicester North station is about 1.4 miles west of Launton, and we cover both.
My garage in Launton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
Do you cover Launton?
Yes. We cover Launton and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
