For landlords, agents and businesses
If you run a business from older premises in Milton-under-Wychwood, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Asbestos garage roof removal near Milton-under-Wychwood
Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. We often deal with cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are single garages and pieces of broken roof.
In a village like Milton-under-Wychwood, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Milton-under-Wychwood questions
Do you come out to small villages like Milton-under-Wychwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Are garage roofs in Milton-under-Wychwood normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How long will the job take?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Weighing up your options
