FAQs for St Clement's
Is asbestos common in St Clement's homes?
If your home in St Clement's was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in St Clement's usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How can I get a price?

Do you work in St Clement's?
Yes. We cover St Clement's and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
