Around Brush Hill Local Nature Reserve, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once. Older houses in Askett, near Church of St Dunstan or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 4 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

About our asbestos garage roof removal in Askett
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s carport roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces.
Garages around Askett may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Duty holders and landlords in Askett
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
How it works
On the day, we set up barrier tape around the garage and damp down the sheets, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Garage roof removal in Askett is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.

Helpful guides
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Accredited laboratory results
- No removal until we know what it is
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How much waste there is
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The access route
- Where we could park
- An idea of size
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What happens next
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Keep weight off the roof.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common questions in Askett
Do you work near Monks Risborough station?
Yes, we cover Askett and the area towards Monks Risborough station, about 0.5 miles south-west.
Do you cover small places like Askett?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you cover Askett?
Yes. We cover Askett and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
