About our asbestos garage roof removal in Chinnor
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Whether it’s sheet garages and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement wall panels, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets and more.
In places like Chinnor, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We only recommend work that’s needed.

It helps if we can park nearby, so let us know about any restrictions. We plan garage roof jobs in Chinnor for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.

We’ll tell you if it needs testing.
Ridge pieces

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
- Book your roofer in advance
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Chinnor
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.

If you let a house with a garage near Princes Risborough station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

What else we do in Chinnor
Questions from Chinnor
Is asbestos common in Chinnor homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Do not pressure-wash it first.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
How we price garage roof removal
The cost depends on:
- The survey scope
- How much waste there is
- Parking and access charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
The most useful photos are:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Street parking nearby
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Approximate dimensions
For a quote, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, the material and some photos.
