Asbestos garage roof removal near Bolter End
We remove sheets, ridges, fixings and any cement gutters and downpipes, wrapped and labelled ready for disposal. From garages in a row or block and single and double garage roofs, we cover ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
Rural garages near Bolter End are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Why people call us in Bolter End
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Pieces of broken roof
Around Yoesden, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Whether the job needs notifying
Options to consider in Bolter End
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
Why us?
- Records for your files
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Covering London and the South East
- Clear advice on your options

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your builder.
Keeping things safe:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.

Bolter End: your questions answered
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.
Are garage roofs in Bolter End generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
