How asbestos garage roof removal works in Arborfield Cross
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. People often contact us about storm-damaged sheets and roofs to clear before demolition, involving downpipes, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In a village like Arborfield Cross, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Arborfield Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Arborfield Cross and the area around Winnersh station?
Yes, we cover Arborfield Cross and the area towards Winnersh station, about 2.7 miles north-east.
Do you cover small places like Arborfield Cross?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
For businesses and landlords in Arborfield Cross
If you run a business from older premises in Arborfield Cross, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Good to know
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it does not:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Re-roofing is normally separate
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Cement wall panels
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Ridge pieces
- Roof felt
- Bargeboards
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
