How asbestos garage roof removal works in Burroughs Grove
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people generally contact us about lean-to roofs and garage conversions.
In areas like Burroughs Grove, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Can I do it myself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
What it costs
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- How much waste there is
- What the material is and its state
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- How many samples are needed
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
Photos that help
Photos often save us a visit:
- Damaged areas
- Street parking nearby
- An idea of size
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form, and we will advise.
Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Burroughs Grove questions
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Do older homes in Burroughs Grove have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Burroughs Grove can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is my garage roof in Burroughs Grove asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
What happens
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves.
