How asbestos garage roof removal works in Haddenham
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and lean-tos and carports.
In towns and villages like Haddenham, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, so access is usually simple to plan. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Typical garage roof jobs in Haddenham
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across Buckinghamshire.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Block garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
Around Snakemoor, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, which can be dealt with together.
Questions to ask before you book
- VAT, clearly stated
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What is not included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
Your options compared
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts of the structure may need a demolition contractor. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Reports and results you can share
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Haddenham: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Haddenham normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do older homes in Haddenham have asbestos?
If your home in Haddenham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
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.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but preparation must not disturb the surface. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
