Asbestos garage roof removal for Eton properties
You can’t stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical jobs include lean-to roofs and single and double garage roofs, involving cement gutters, corrugated roof sheets and downpipes.
Rural garages near Eton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so tell us the size and send photos. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Materials we deal with
Fixings
Rusted fixings may need cutting, done without damaging the sheets.
Wall panels
Some garages have cement wall panels as well.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What happens
Sheets are wrapped and labelled as they’re removed, then loaded for disposal. The work area is kept clear while we are working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere. We plan garage roof jobs in Eton for daylight: in late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, in June not until about 9:25pm.

What we deal with in Eton
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Garages in a row or block
- Garages being knocked down
- Concrete-panel garages
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
Around Bray Pit, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
After the job
Keep the consignment note with your property records: it’s useful when you sell.
Going forward:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- File the waste paperwork
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Don’ts
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces and ask for advice.
Never cut or break the sheets.

Eton: your questions answered
Are garage roofs in Eton usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. A sample test will tell you.
Do you work near Windsor & Eton Riverside station?
Yes. Windsor & Eton Riverside station is about 0.5 miles south of Eton, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Yes. We cover Eton and the surrounding area as part of Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us the postcode and what you need.

If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
