Asbestos help in Olney
Asbestos garage roof removal for Olney properties
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and lean-tos and carports, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In Olney, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Olney, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
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.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
The process
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and keep the area clear of everyone else. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first. In December, it’s dark in Olney by about 3:50pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Let us know where we can park

Common questions in Olney
Could my house in Olney contain asbestos?
If your home in Olney was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
My garage in Olney 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 in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, and you get the consignment note.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we’ll advise.
What affects the price in Olney

- The category of work
