Questions from Clewer
Are garage roofs in Clewer typically asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you cover Clewer and the area around Windsor & Eton Central station?
Yes. Windsor & Eton Central station is about 0.7 miles east of Clewer, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, but it must still be done properly.
Choosing the right option
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Sheet garages
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garage conversions
If the garage opens onto a main road such as the A308 and A332, tell us about parking and access.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The documents you’ll receive
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- The method and controls
Afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you get the consignment note.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Book your roofer in advance
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- 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
