Asbestos garage roof removal for Lower Heyford properties
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. From brittle, leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In towns and villages like Lower Heyford, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.

We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves. It helps if we can park nearby. We plan garage roof jobs in Lower Heyford for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:30pm in June.

Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Ridge pieces
They’re removed with the sheets and wrapped together.
After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Some practical advice:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t drill, cut or break the sheets.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job

Common questions in Lower Heyford
Do you work near Heyford station?
Yes, we cover Lower Heyford, including the streets around Heyford station.
My garage in Lower Heyford 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 work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
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.
How do I get a quote?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
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, so identifying it before work is important.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
For businesses and landlords in Lower Heyford
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Lower Heyford, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
