About our asbestos garage roof removal in Danesfield
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. We often deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes, and typical jobs are single and double garage roofs and garages due a new roof.
Rural garages near Danesfield are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Danesfield questions
Could my house in Danesfield contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Danesfield can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Good to know
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Different materials need a different approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Fixings and bolts
- Ridge pieces
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
