Asbestos garage roof removal near Remenham Hill
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Typical materials include ridge pieces, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garage conversions and brittle, leaking roofs.
In places like Remenham Hill, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

FAQs for Remenham Hill
Do older homes in Remenham Hill have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Remenham Hill may have 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 same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, 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.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
