Asbestos garage roof removal in Ley Hill
If you’re not sure your garage roof in Ley Hill is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. People often contact us about garages before a new roof or conversion and garage blocks, involving downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In areas like Ley Hill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Ley Hill
My garage in Ley Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
For businesses and landlords in Ley Hill
For managing agents and freeholders in Ley Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Re-roofing is normally separate
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Common materials
- Gutters and downpipes
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Bargeboards
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Ley Hill
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages in a row or block
Around Sands Bank, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
