Weston Otmoor questions
How far is Weston Otmoor from London?
We cover Weston Otmoor, about 54 miles from central London.
Are garage roofs in Weston Otmoor generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Why people call us in Weston Otmoor
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Oxfordshire still have them.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheet garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage conversions
Properties near Woodsides Meadow may have outbuildings as well as a garage, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- VAT, clearly stated
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
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.
