Asbestos garage roof removal for Chesham properties
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. From roofs to clear before demolition and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes and more.
In a town like Chesham, garages built with houses from the post-war decades to the 1990s often have cement sheet roofs, which are now brittle with age. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What else we do in Chesham
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
For businesses and landlords in Chesham
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Chesham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Your options compared
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Common questions in Chesham
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Chesham from London?
We cover Chesham, about 27 miles from central London.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
