Newbury: If you are a landlord with garages near Newbury station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs. Garages on busy roads like the A4 and A339 need loading planned in advance. In December, it’s dark in Newbury by about 4:00pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Responsibilities for owners

For managing agents and freeholders in West Berkshire, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.

What we do and do not cover

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement

What we deal with in West Berkshire

Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across West Berkshire still have them.

People usually contact us about one of these:

Broken sheets after high winds
Garages due for demolition
Garage blocks
Lean-to roofs

Common questions in West Berkshire

Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?

Generally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.

Do you take down the walls too?

Cement wall panels can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.

What paperwork will I get?

Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.

Can you help with a flat?

Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Does weather affect the work?

Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
