DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. 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.
Why people call us in Stanton Harcourt
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garage conversions
- Garages due for demolition
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
Near open spaces such as Cumnor Hill, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before you book anyone

Your questions about garage roof removal in Stanton Harcourt
How far is Stanton Harcourt from London?
Stanton Harcourt is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Could my house in Stanton Harcourt contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Stanton Harcourt, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
