Asbestos garage roof removal near Little Frieth
Asbestos garage roof removal near Little Frieth
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages being knocked down and prefab garages with cement walls.
Rural garages near Little Frieth are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Which option is right?

What affects the price in Little Frieth
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- How we’d reach it
- A photo of the whole area
- Visible markings
Each job is priced individually. To start, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
To avoid problems in future:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Materials, one by one
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you run a business from older premises in Little Frieth, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
- Re-roofing is normally separate

Little Frieth: your questions answered
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.
Is asbestos common in Little Frieth homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Little Frieth can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Typically not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
