About our asbestos garage roof removal in Henton
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include block garages and single and double garage roofs, including cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes.
In a village like Henton, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials we deal with
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Henton: your questions answered
Do you work near Princes Risborough station?
Yes. Princes Risborough station is about 2.2 miles east of Henton, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Henton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
After we have finished in Henton
If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Let us know where we can park
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
What we deal with in Henton
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Carport roofs
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Pieces of broken roof
Near open spaces such as Oakley Hill nature reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Any exclusions
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Options to consider in Henton
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

How it works
We wear disposable coveralls and respirators throughout, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next. In December, it’s dark in Henton by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Get in touch with photos
- We confirm the material, testing a sample if needed
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The sheets are wrapped and taken away, and you get the consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure we can get to the area
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
How to get a quote
We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
