Asbestos garage roof removal for Chartridge properties
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Chartridge 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. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about old, cracked sheets and garages due for demolition.
Rural garages near Chartridge are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

What else we do in Chartridge
How it works
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. In December, it’s dark in Chartridge by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-tos and carports
For rented homes with garages close to Great Missenden station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- If the price includes VAT
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab

What’s in and what’s out:

Common questions in Chartridge
Do you come out to small villages like Chartridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Chartridge homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chartridge can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: 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.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What does licensed work mean?
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. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
Looking after things afterwards
The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Once we are done:
- Let us know where we can park
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
