Common questions in Yarnton
Could my house in Yarnton contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Yarnton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you cover Yarnton?
Yes. We cover Yarnton and the surrounding area as part of Oxfordshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

What else we do in Yarnton
Your options compared
DIY garage roof removal? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and the roof is fragile, so there is a serious falls risk too. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Records for your files
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Typical garage roof jobs in Yarnton
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Typical jobs in Yarnton include:
- Garages due for demolition
- Single garages
- Pieces of broken roof
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Around Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What to look for in a quote
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- The scope of the job, in writing
Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
A few practical points:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
