How asbestos garage roof removal works in Enborne
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Typical jobs include carport roofs and cracked, mossy or leaking roofs, including corrugated roof sheets, bargeboards and cement wall panels.
Garages around Enborne may be bigger than in towns, so tell us the size and send photos. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Duty holders and landlords in Enborne
If you run a business from older premises in Enborne, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Enborne must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.

Afterwards
If the garage has other asbestos, such as cement wall panels or a flue, it should be recorded, or removed together.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your roofer in advance
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Give us a rough size
Things not to do
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
What we deal with in Enborne
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
In older properties, we often see:
- Garages due a new roof
- Concrete-panel garages
- Single garages
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
Older houses in Enborne, near Parish Church of St Michael or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Materials, one by one
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Ridge pieces
We take them off with the sheets.
Your options compared
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Ask for the waste paperwork. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why choose us
- Accredited laboratory results
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

The process
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we will do before we start. Late-December sunset in Enborne is about 4:00pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
- Tell us roughly how big the garage is and how we’d reach it
- We check the roof material first
- We quote and book a date around your roofer
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
Before we arrive
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere

Enborne: your questions answered
Could my house in Enborne contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Enborne can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My garage in Enborne has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Generally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Photos help us check.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
