Asbestos garage roof removal near Ballinger Common
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Ballinger Common. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. We often deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and single and double garage roofs.
Rural garages near Ballinger Common are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Do older homes in Ballinger Common have asbestos?
Any home in Ballinger Common built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- Access to the area

- Labels, if any
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Where we could park

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ballinger Common
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Buckinghamshire.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Single garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Roofs to clear before demolition
If you let a house with a garage near Great Missenden station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- The method and controls
- Which areas and materials are covered
- Suitable insurance for the work
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
