Asbestos garage roof removal in Richings Park
Many garages built before 2000, in Richings Park and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We take them off whole, keep them damp, wrap them and take them away, with a consignment note for your records. We often deal with ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and people generally contact us about lean-to roofs and garages before a new roof or conversion.
In areas like Richings Park, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Richings Park: your questions answered
Could my house in Richings Park contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Richings Park and the area around Iver station?
Yes, we cover Richings Park, including the streets around Iver station.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
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.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is normally a separate job
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
