Asbestos garage roof removal in Wokingham: what to expect

Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical materials include cement wall panels, cement gutters and downpipes, and people usually contact us about single garages and block garages.

Each sheet is wrapped in heavy polythene or bagged and labelled as it comes down, then loaded for disposal.

Wokingham: garages, outbuildings and roofs

Garages across Wokingham, from Reading, Woodley and Earley to 21 villages and hamlets, often have corrugated cement roofs from before 2000. In towns they’re often in blocks; in villages, alongside outbuildings.

Reading: In Reading, many garages and sheds were added decades ago, sometimes with cement sheet roofs. Near open spaces such as Fobney Island Wetland Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding. Late-December sunset in Reading is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

Limits to be aware of

Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:

Other parts of the garage may need a builder or demolition contractor
Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
We remove the asbestos roof; the new roof is typically a separate job

DIY and asbestos

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Afterwards

If you’re converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.

Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
Book your roofer in advance
Photos of the garage and the way in help
Let neighbours know beforehand

Keep weight off the roof.

Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Wokingham

Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.

In older properties, we often see:

Garages before a new roof or conversion
Garages in a row or block
Sheet garages
Pieces of broken roof

Duty holders and landlords in Wokingham

Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Wokingham

My garage is in a row: can you still do it?

Often, yes, if the work area can be separated safely from the neighbouring garages. Send photos and we will advise.

Should all asbestos be removed?

Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.

Does weather affect the work?

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

What paperwork will I get?

It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

When can you start?

It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote.

Do you work in flats?

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

Can you remove the whole garage?

Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
