Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Benham Hill, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
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.
Asbestos garage roof removal for Benham Hill properties
Many garages built before 2000, in Benham Hill and elsewhere, have corrugated asbestos cement roofs. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, and give you the waste paperwork. People often contact us about garages being knocked down and block garages, including bargeboards, cement gutters and ridge pieces.
In a smaller place like Benham Hill, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
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.

FAQs for Benham Hill
Do you work near Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes. Newbury Racecourse station is about 0.8 miles south-west of Benham Hill, and we cover both.
My garage in Benham Hill has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Helpful guides
What it costs
The price of garage roof removal depends mainly on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The category of work
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement
- A photo of the whole area
Photos from a safe distance help: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
What happens next
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Things not to do
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
