Asbestos garage roof removal near Amersham on the Hill
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs, involving downpipes, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
In a smaller place like Amersham on the Hill, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What else we do in Amersham on the Hill
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Buckinghamshire still have them.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Garages due for demolition
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
Around Sands Bank, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Responsibilities for owners
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Amersham on the Hill, 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.
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.
Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
