Asbestos garage roof removal near Colnbrook
Asbestos garage roof removal in Colnbrook
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they will not take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include downpipes, bargeboards and cement gutters, and typical jobs are single garages and carport roofs.
In a village like Colnbrook, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.

Typical garage roof jobs in Colnbrook
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and patch repairs on brittle sheets rarely last.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garage blocks
Near open spaces such as Staines Reservoirs, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- If the price includes VAT
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Limits to be aware of
Before you book, note that:
- Block garages may involve several owners or a landlord
- Different materials need a different approach
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
