Asbestos garage roof removal in Dorney Reach
The sheets are unbolted and lowered, never broken or dropped, since broken cement releases fibres. Whether it’s double garages and roofs to clear before demolition, we deal with corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and downpipes.
In towns and villages like Dorney Reach, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If you manage or own a block in Dorney Reach, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.

My builder has found asbestos. What now?

How do I get a quote?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
