Asbestos garage roof removal in Chalfont Common
Asbestos garage roof removal in Chalfont Common
If you are not sure your garage roof in Chalfont Common is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are old, cracked sheets and prefab garages with cement walls.
Garages around Chalfont Common may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Responsibilities for owners
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials we deal with
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
Some practical advice:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Let us know where we can park
- File the waste paperwork
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.

Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building

Why people call us in Chalfont Common
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages due a new roof
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages due for demolition
Properties near Pynesfield Lake may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Chalfont Common
Do you cover Chalfont Common from London?
Chalfont Common is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Gerrards Cross station?
Yes, we cover Chalfont Common and the area towards Gerrards Cross station, about 2.2 miles south.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.

Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. A sample test will tell you.
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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
