Asbestos garage roof removal for Hughenden Valley
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Hughenden Valley
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. From single garages and block garages, we deal with cement gutters, ridge pieces and downpipes.
Garages around Hughenden Valley may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Hughenden Valley questions
Do you cover Hughenden Valley and the area around High Wycombe station?
Yes. High Wycombe station is about 2.5 miles south of Hughenden Valley, and we cover both.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.

After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Don’ts
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.

Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
