FAQs for Dorney
Do you come out to small villages like Dorney?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Dorney and the area around Burnham station?
Yes. Burnham station is about 1.4 miles north of Dorney, and we cover both.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Is my garage roof in Dorney asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000 often is asbestos cement. We can sample it safely from the edge.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Dorney
Once the roof is off, the garage is open, so have the replacement roof planned first. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and bargeboards, and typical jobs are garages before a new roof or conversion and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs.
In a village like Dorney, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
After we’ve finished:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
Things not to do
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Keep weight off the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
If your business premises in Dorney were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
