Asbestos garage roof removal in Upper Arncott
Asbestos garage roof removal in Upper Arncott
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Common materials are downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are garages in a row or block and old, cracked sheets.
Garages around Upper Arncott may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Questions from Upper Arncott
Do you cover Upper Arncott and the area around Bicester Village station?
Yes, we cover Upper Arncott and the area towards Bicester Village station, about 3.3 miles north-west.
Do you come out to small villages like Upper Arncott?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site.
