FAQs for Finchampstead
Do you cover small places like Finchampstead?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My garage in Finchampstead 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.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Removing asbestos cement sheets is non-licensed work in most cases under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.

Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.

What we deal with in Finchampstead
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Garage conversions
- Single garages
- Garages in a row or block

Around Horseshoe Lake, a garage may share a plot with sheds and stores, so it can make sense to do them at once.

Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:

- You get a written quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
