Billingbear questions
Do you cover Billingbear and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Billingbear and the area towards Bracknell station, about 2.8 miles south-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Billingbear?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Where do the sheets go?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Weighing up your options
Does the roof have to come off? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; cracks, leaks or a conversion usually mean removal. The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
How we work in Billingbear
- Covering London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

Can I do it myself?

With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
