Keep the consignment note with your property records: buyers’ solicitors may ask about it.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What affects the price in Emmington

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Emmington
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages in a row or block
Across Emmington, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs.

The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 5 miles, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

Emmington questions
Do you cover Emmington from London?
Emmington is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 3.8 miles east of Emmington, and we cover both.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Materials we deal with
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
