Asbestos garage roof removal near Bray
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Bray tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is typically the start of a new roof or conversion. We often deal with ridge pieces, downpipes and bargeboards, and people normally contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and double garages.
In a village like Bray, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

What else we do in Bray
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you manage or own a block in Bray, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
FAQs for Bray
Do you cover Bray and the area around Taplow station?
Yes. Taplow station is about 1.3 miles north-east of Bray, and we cover both.
Do you come out to small villages like Bray?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is my garage roof in Bray asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Going forward:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep pets and children inside
- Tell us about parking and access
- Let neighbours know beforehand
Avoid these
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.
What we do and don’t cover
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Cement wall panels

- Ridge pieces
