About our asbestos garage roof removal in Lee Common
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and garage conversions, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
Garages around Lee Common may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What affects the price in Lee Common
The cost depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
A few photos can save a site visit:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A rough size or measurement
- Damaged areas
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Why people call us in Lee Common
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but scrubbing or jet-washing them off releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage conversions
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-to roofs
Older houses in Lee Common, near St Mary's or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.
What to look for in a quote
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- Which areas and materials are covered
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
Your questions about garage roof removal in Lee Common
My garage in Lee Common has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
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.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Before booking, note that:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Different materials need a different approach
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
