How asbestos garage roof removal works in Ellesborough
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Ellesborough. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, and give you the waste paperwork. From garage conversions and pieces of broken roof, we cover ridge pieces, downpipes and cement gutters and more.
In a village like Ellesborough, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Going forward:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
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. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Ellesborough: your questions answered
How far is Ellesborough from London?
Ellesborough is about 35 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Ellesborough?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is normally quick once we are set up.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
