Asbestos garage roof removal near Penn Street
Asbestos garage roof removal for Penn Street properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards, and typical jobs are roofs to clear before demolition and single garages.
In a village like Penn Street, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Penn Street questions
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do you work near Amersham station?
Yes, we cover Penn Street and the area towards Amersham station, about 2.6 miles north-east.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
What it might be made of
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
