Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Bagshot. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about block garages and concrete-panel garages.

Your questions about garage roof removal in Bagshot
Do you cover Bagshot and the area around Bedwyn station?
Yes. Bedwyn station is about 2.4 miles west of Bagshot, and we cover both.
How far is Bagshot from London?
We cover Bagshot, about 63 miles from central London.
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.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Where do the sheets go?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, and you get the consignment note.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Typically, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brick walls and bases need a builder or demolition contractor.
For businesses and landlords in Bagshot
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
For managing agents and freeholders in Bagshot, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen spread on older sheets, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Double garages
- Garage blocks
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Older houses in Bagshot, near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are normally asbestos cement too.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets do not crack.
After the job
If you are converting the garage, tell your builder the roof has been removed and show them the paperwork.
After we have finished:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
