Our asbestos garage roof removal in HP18
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. We often deal with bargeboards, cement gutters and corrugated roof sheets, and people usually contact us about garage blocks and double garages.
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile.
- Tell us the size of the garage and the access
- We work out how to reach the roof safely
- We agree a date that fits your new roof
- We take the roof off safely
- We clean up and send the paperwork
Cost
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Identify first, remove only when needed
- Clear advice on your options

HP18: garages, outbuildings and roofs
From Aylesbury, Haydon Hill and Long Crendon to its villages, HP18 has many older garages with cement roofs. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.
Long Crendon: Across Long Crendon, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, often with cement roofs. If you’re a landlord with garages near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. We plan garage roof jobs in Long Crendon for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.
Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Typical jobs in HP18 include:
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Block garages
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Carport roofs
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Weighing up your options
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE advises the public not to remove asbestos themselves, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the job needs notifying

HP18 questions
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
