Asbestos garage roof removal near Stonor
Asbestos garage roof removal near Stonor
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Typical jobs include garages before a new roof or conversion and roofs to clear before demolition, involving bargeboards, cement gutters and downpipes.
In a village like Stonor, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Stonor
My garage in Stonor has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
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.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Don’ts
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
A closer look at the materials
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Ridge pieces
