Asbestos garage roof removal near Leafield
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From garages due a new roof and brittle, leaking roofs, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and ridge pieces and more.
In a village like Leafield, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Leafield
Do you cover Leafield and the area around Ascott-Under-Wychwood station?
Yes. Ascott-Under-Wychwood station is about 2.5 miles north-west of Leafield, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Leafield homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Leafield can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
