Aylesbury questions
Is asbestos common in Aylesbury homes?
If your home in Aylesbury was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
Each sheet is wrapped, labelled and taken away for disposal at a permitted site.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do you work in Aylesbury?
Yes. We cover Aylesbury and the surrounding area as part of Buckinghamshire. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Different materials need a different approach
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
Materials we see
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. We wet them and lower them whole.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
