Asbestos garage roof removal in Medmenham
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s block garages and prefab garages with cement walls, we deal with ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels.
In towns and villages like Medmenham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Medmenham
Is asbestos common in Medmenham homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Medmenham can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
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. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Options to consider in Medmenham
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you’re not planning work, it can stay; cracks, leaks or a conversion normally mean removal. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
