Asbestos garage roof removal for Chearsley properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. We often deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are block garages and garages due for demolition.
Garages around Chearsley may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Chearsley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Chearsley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station?
Yes, we cover Chearsley and the area towards Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 1.5 miles south-east.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
