About our asbestos garage roof removal in Princes Risborough
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, because breaking asbestos cement releases fibres. Typical materials include downpipes, ridge pieces and cement gutters, and typical jobs are concrete-panel garages and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In Princes Risborough, a garage may come with sheds or lean-tos roofed the same way, which can be removed together. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

What to avoid
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
