How asbestos garage roof removal works in Speen
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We often deal with downpipes, ridge pieces and cement wall panels, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and prefab garages with cement walls.
In a village like Speen, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Speen
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings 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.
Do you work near Saunderton station?
Yes. Saunderton station is about 2.1 miles south-west of Speen, and we cover both.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped in heavy polythene, labelled and taken to a permitted site, with the consignment note sent to you.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.

That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.

Why people call us in Speen

If you let a house with a garage near Saunderton station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.
Before you book anyone
- Suitable insurance for the work
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
