Asbestos garage roof removal in Crowthorne
Asbestos garage roof removal for Crowthorne properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include bargeboards, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people generally contact us about lean-tos and carports and block garages.
In towns like Crowthorne, many garages from the post-war decades have cement roofs, and many are now brittle. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Crowthorne: your questions answered
Do you cover Crowthorne from London?
We cover Crowthorne, about 32 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Crowthorne homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Do you take down the walls too?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you cover Crowthorne?
Yes, Crowthorne is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it must still be done properly.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
