Asbestos garage roof removal in Highmoor
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and lean-tos and carports, including corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement wall panels.
In areas like Highmoor, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

Highmoor questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
How far is Highmoor from London?
Highmoor is about 39 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
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.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
After we have finished in Highmoor
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so book the new roof in good time.

- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Book your roofer in advance
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Keep weight off the roof.

Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Highmoor
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
