About our asbestos garage roof removal in Easton
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Easton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. From lean-tos and carports and pieces of broken roof, we cover cement wall panels, ridge pieces and corrugated roof sheets and more.
Rural garages near Easton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Easton garages: local notes
Easton is about 5 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Easton has a mix of older and newer buildings, and anything built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Easton is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover. We work right across the region, from Easton to Reading (about 18 miles away).
If you’re a landlord with garages near Kintbury station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs. Near open spaces such as Sole Common Pond, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together. Easton is within about 8 miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, and garages on rural plots there often have neighbouring outbuildings roofed the same way.

Questions from Easton
My garage in Easton has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
A test is the only way to be sure, though older grey corrugated garage roofs often are. We can take a sample without going on the roof.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Looking after things afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Tell us about parking and access
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
What to avoid
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
