How asbestos garage roof removal works in Slough
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 downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards, and typical jobs are prefab garages with cement walls and garages due a new roof.
Our team wears coveralls and respiratory protection, and nobody else comes near.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
What you’ll pay
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Why people choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- Records for your files
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Garage roof removal in Slough
Garages across Slough, from Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell to 21 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.
Slough: Across Slough, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. If you’re a landlord with garages near Slough station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. In December, it’s dark in Slough by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
Choosing the right option
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.
Questions to ask before booking
- The documents you’ll receive

Prices and what affects them
We base our quote on:
- The category of work
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Where asbestos turns up
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Block garages
- Lean-tos and carports
- Sheet garages
Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common questions in Slough
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
