How we work
In strong wind or heavy rain, we may have to stop, because safety comes first. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. Late-December sunset in Hedsor is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- 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

How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hedsor
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Hedsor. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include bargeboards, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and double garages.
In a village like Hedsor, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
These come up again and again:
- Garages due for demolition
- Carport roofs
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
Older houses in Hedsor, near Cores End United Reformed Church or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.
Questions to ask before you book
- The method and controls
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- If the price includes VAT
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Which option is right?
DIY garage roof removal? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and the roof is fragile, so there’s a serious falls risk too. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Questions from Hedsor
Do you cover small places like Hedsor?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Hedsor has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Hedsor, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Hedsor, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are generally asbestos cement too.
