How asbestos garage roof removal works in Fulmer
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical materials include cement wall panels, ridge pieces and downpipes, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and storm-damaged sheets.
Rural garages near Fulmer are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

The process
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then load the wrapped waste. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first. We plan garage roof jobs in Fulmer for daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Common questions in Fulmer
Do you work near Gerrards Cross station?
Yes, we cover Fulmer and the area towards Gerrards Cross station, about 1.9 miles north.
Do older homes in Fulmer have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Fulmer can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is my garage roof in Fulmer asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Fulmer were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let us know where we can park
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep pets and children inside
Things not to do
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.

- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal

- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
