Asbestos garage roof removal in Cold Harbour
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. People often contact us about pieces of broken roof and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces.
In a village like Cold Harbour, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Cold Harbour, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Cold Harbour questions
My garage in Cold Harbour has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Cold Harbour and the area around Wargrave station?
Yes. Wargrave station is about 3.3 miles west of Cold Harbour, and we cover both.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
After the job
File the waste paperwork: it’s useful when you sell.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets and children inside
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
- File the waste paperwork
What to avoid
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
