Step by step
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. It helps if we can park nearby. In December, it’s dark in Hitchambury by about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Start with photos of the garage and how we reach it
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- You get a written quote
- We damp the sheets, release the fixings and lower them whole

Your questions about garage roof removal in Hitchambury
Do you cover Hitchambury and the area around Taplow station?
Yes. Taplow station is about 0.8 miles south of Hitchambury, and we cover both.
How far is Hitchambury from London?
We cover Hitchambury, about 25 miles from central London.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
For businesses and landlords in Hitchambury
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
What we do and do not cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we see
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

What else we do in Hitchambury
Options to consider in Hitchambury
Just the roof, 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. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
