Asbestos garage roof removal in Saunderton Lee
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Common materials are corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about storm-damaged sheets and carport roofs.
In a village like Saunderton Lee, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Helpful guides
Your questions about garage roof removal in Saunderton Lee
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.
Is asbestos common in Saunderton Lee homes?
If your home in Saunderton Lee was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
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 get in touch and we will advise.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
A closer look at the materials
Gutters and downpipes
We take them down in whole lengths.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
For businesses and landlords in Saunderton Lee
If you manage or own a block in Saunderton Lee, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Choosing the right option
Does the roof have to come off? If it’s sound and you are not planning work, it can stay; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
