About our asbestos garage roof removal in Turnfurlong
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Taking it off is normally the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and garages being knocked down, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Turnfurlong, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is generally simple to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Weighing up your options
Paint or overclad instead? It can work on a sound roof, but preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. See our guide to repair, paint or replace. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

DIY and asbestos
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

Where asbestos turns up
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
In older properties, we often see:
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-tos and carports
- Single garages
- Old, cracked sheets
If you let a house with a garage near Aylesbury station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
