Asbestos garage roof removal for Middle Barton
Questions from Middle Barton
Do you cover Middle Barton and the area around Heyford station?
Yes. Heyford station is about 2.9 miles east of Middle Barton, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Middle Barton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Middle Barton
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. From block garages and lean-tos and carports, we cover cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces and more.
In a village like Middle Barton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
After we have finished in Middle Barton
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- File the waste paperwork
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Don’ts
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
