Asbestos garage roof removal near Turville
If you are not sure your garage roof in Turville is asbestos, a sample test will tell you. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include garage conversions and sheet garages, involving cement wall panels, bargeboards and cement gutters.
In places like Turville, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What it might be made of
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Common questions in Turville
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
My garage in Turville has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
The process
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, ready for disposal at a permitted site. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start. We plan garage roof jobs in Turville for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
- Send photos of the garage, the roof and the access
- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the paperwork
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Let us know if something’s broken

Prices and what affects them
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Access to the area
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
Not sure what you need? Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Turville were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
