Asbestos help in Oakshott
Common questions in Oakshott
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do older homes in Oakshott have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Oakshott may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Oakshott
Removing cement roof sheets is usually non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about prefab garages with cement walls and garage blocks, involving corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
Rural garages near Oakshott are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

A closer look at the materials
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Looking after things afterwards
Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Going forward:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
Things not to do
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion generally mean removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
