Asbestos garage roof removal for Saunderton properties
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. Whether it’s lean-to roofs and garages being knocked down, we deal with cement gutters, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In places like Saunderton, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Saunderton
My garage in Saunderton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
How far is Saunderton from London?
Saunderton is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Only a laboratory test can confirm it, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.

The scope of garage roof removal
To be clear about the scope:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Common materials
- Ridge pieces
- Gutters and downpipes
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Bargeboards
- Roof felt
- Cement wall panels
- Fixings and bolts
After we’ve finished in Saunderton
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
A few practical points:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
- Keep pets and children inside
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The type of material and its condition
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help

DIY and asbestos
