- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let us know where we can park

What to avoid
Keep weight off the roof.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Speen
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and garage blocks, including ridge pieces, bargeboards and cement gutters.
Rural garages near Speen are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides
Speen questions
Could my house in Speen contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Speen can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Speen usually asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as the work area can be safely separated from the garages next door. Photos help us check.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
A closer look at the materials
Wall panels
Walls come down the same way.
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, so they become brittle.
Typical jobs in Speen include:
- Carport roofs
- Single garages
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
Properties near Rack Marsh may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Questions to ask before booking
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- How fibres will be kept down
- Suitable insurance for the work
