Asbestos garage roof removal in Coley Park
Asbestos garage roof removal near Coley Park
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Whether it’s cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single garages, we cover cement wall panels, cement gutters and bargeboards and more.
In areas like Coley Park, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

For businesses and landlords in Coley Park
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If your business premises in Coley Park were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Questions from Coley Park
Do you cover Coley Park and the area around Reading West station?
Yes, we cover Coley Park and the area towards Reading West station, about 0.7 miles north.
Is asbestos common in Coley Park homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is typically quick once we’re set up.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Do not pressure-wash it first.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
