DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What we deal with in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
These come up again and again:
- Garages being knocked down

- Garage blocks
For rented homes with garages close to Shipton station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
