Asbestos garage roof removal near Christmas Common
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Whether it’s concrete-panel garages and pieces of broken roof, we deal with ridge pieces, cement gutters and downpipes and more.
In a village like Christmas Common, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Going forward:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
Things not to do
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never cut or break the sheets.
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- No removal until we know what it is
- Quotes that spell out the scope

Christmas Common: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How far is Christmas Common from London?
We cover Christmas Common, about 39 miles from central London.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
