About our asbestos garage roof removal in Howe Hill
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Mention your plans when you get in touch. Common materials are ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters, and typical jobs are broken sheets after high winds and roofs to clear before demolition.
In a village like Howe Hill, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Howe Hill: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Howe Hill homes?
If your home in Howe Hill was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Send us some photos.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Lean-tos and carports
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near Bald Hill may have outbuildings as well as a garage.

Gutters and downpipes
Cement gutters and downpipes are common.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Once we are done:
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
How we work
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Late-December sunset in Howe Hill is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Describe the garage
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We remove the roof with controls to keep fibres down
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Before we arrive
