How asbestos garage roof removal works in Broughton
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and single garages, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In Broughton, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

For businesses and landlords in Broughton
If you manage or own a block in Broughton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
After we’ve finished in Broughton
We clear up and check for fragments.
Once we’re done:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Book your roofer in advance
What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Where asbestos turns up
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
These come up again and again:
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Single and double garage roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
If you are a landlord with garages near Aylesbury station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- The scope of the job, in writing
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. Late-December sunset in Broughton is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
How we work in Broughton

Common questions in Broughton
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you cover Broughton and the area around Aylesbury station?
Yes, we cover Broughton and the area towards Aylesbury station, about 2 miles south-west.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you cannot be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
