Asbestos garage roof removal near Bishopstone
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. From garage conversions and lean-to roofs, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and cement gutters.
In towns and villages like Bishopstone, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What we do and don’t cover
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Options to consider in Bishopstone

Questions from Bishopstone
Do you cover Bishopstone and the area around Aylesbury station?
Yes. Aylesbury station is about 2.1 miles north-east of Bishopstone, and we cover both.
My garage in Bishopstone has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What we deal with in Bishopstone
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Buckinghamshire still have them.
Typical jobs in Bishopstone include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages being knocked down
- Garage blocks
- Brittle, leaking roofs
If you let a house with a garage near Aylesbury station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
