How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hazlemere
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Hazlemere. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. From lean-tos and carports and garage blocks, we deal with downpipes, bargeboards and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Hazlemere, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is typically simple to plan. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

FAQs for Hazlemere
Do older homes in Hazlemere have asbestos?
If your home in Hazlemere was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near High Wycombe station?
Yes. High Wycombe station is about 2.1 miles south-west of Hazlemere, and we cover both.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you cover Hazlemere?
We do: our area includes Hazlemere and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
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 typically quick once we are set up.
Materials, one by one
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Garage roof removal in Hazlemere is planned around daylight: sunset is about 3:55pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- We confirm the material, testing if needed
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- The sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, with a consignment note
How to prepare
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Find any old asbestos reports
After the job
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
