Asbestos garage roof removal in Loudwater
Questions from Loudwater
Do you cover Loudwater and the area around Bourne End station?
Yes. Bourne End station is about 2.2 miles south of Loudwater, and we cover both.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
About our asbestos garage roof removal in Loudwater
We remove single and double garage roofs, garages in rows and blocks, lean-tos and carports across Loudwater. Photos and rough sizes help us quote. From garages in a row or block and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with cement wall panels, bargeboards and downpipes and more.
Homes in places like Loudwater often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Why people call us in Loudwater
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across Buckinghamshire still have them.
People generally contact us about one of these:
- Garage blocks
- Pieces of broken roof
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Garages being knocked down
Across Loudwater, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000.

- VAT, clearly stated
- Which areas and materials are covered
- How fibres will be kept down
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Weighing up your options
Removing the roof sheets or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
How we work in Loudwater
- Records for your files
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing

See how we quote or published price ranges.
Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Once we’re done:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Book your roofer in advance
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Keep weight off the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
