Asbestos garage roof removal for Chalfont St Peter properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Common materials are cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards, and people typically contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and block garages.
Homes in towns and villages like Chalfont St Peter often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Chalfont St Peter questions
Do older homes in Chalfont St Peter have asbestos?
If your home in Chalfont St Peter was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Chalfont St Peter and the area around Gerrards Cross station?
Yes. Gerrards Cross station is about 1.3 miles south of Chalfont St Peter, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: 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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
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 can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
