Asbestos garage roof removal in Donkey Town
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. From carport roofs and garage conversions, we deal with downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and bargeboards.
In a village like Donkey Town, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Donkey Town
Do you work near Bagshot station?
Yes, we cover Donkey Town and the area towards Bagshot station, about 2.3 miles north-west.
Could my house in Donkey Town contain asbestos?
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is usually quick once we are set up.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Looking after things afterwards
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so book the new roof in good time.
Once we’re done:
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Plan the new roof before removal
Things not to do
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Keep weight off the roof.

What we deal with in Donkey Town
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to garage roof jobs:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Sheet garages
- Lean-to roofs
- Single garages
For rented homes with garages close to Bagshot station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Helpful guides
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Donkey Town, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
