Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
How we work in Chesham Bois
- No removal until we know what it is
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Work done to the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork

Asbestos garage roof removal in Chesham Bois
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages due for demolition and block garages.
In towns and villages like Chesham Bois, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them

Looking after things afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
After we have finished:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work

- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Chesham Bois questions
My garage in Chesham Bois has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.

- An idea of size

- Visible markings

For businesses and landlords in Chesham Bois
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
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.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
