How asbestos garage roof removal works in Amersham
If you are not sure your garage roof in Amersham is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and ridge pieces, and typical jobs are sheet garages and garages in a row or block.
Many people in towns like Amersham convert their garages, and the old cement roof is usually the first thing to go. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Amersham
Do you cover Amersham from London?
Amersham is about 25 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Amersham homes?
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.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
A single garage is typically a short job, but access, size and condition make a difference.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
