How asbestos garage roof removal works in Aldermaston Wharf
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include broken sheets after high winds and single and double garage roofs, involving cement gutters, ridge pieces and cement wall panels.
In a village like Aldermaston Wharf, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.

Questions from Aldermaston Wharf
Do you cover small places like Aldermaston Wharf?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Aldermaston Wharf contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Aldermaston Wharf may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels as well as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.

- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
