Asbestos garage roof removal near Furzton
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Furzton
Each sheet is unfixed and lowered whole, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and brittle, leaking roofs, involving downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In places like Furzton, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Furzton
Do you cover Furzton from London?
Furzton is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Bletchley station?
Yes. Bletchley station is about 1.4 miles south-east of Furzton, and we cover both.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Furzton must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
