Asbestos garage roof removal for Goring
Materials, one by one

Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Corrugated sheets
Most garage roofs are corrugated cement sheets. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Goring
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it must be done with wetting, whole-sheet removal, protective equipment and legal disposal. Typical jobs include garages due for demolition and pieces of broken roof, involving ridge pieces, cement wall panels and downpipes.
In a smaller place like Goring, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, so access is normally simple to plan. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Why people call us in Goring
Storm damage can leave broken pieces in gardens and drives, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Garages due a new roof

Near open spaces such as Withymead Nature Reserve, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, which can be dealt with together.

- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
For businesses and landlords in Goring
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Goring, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Questions from Goring
Do you work near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, we cover Goring, including the streets around Goring & Streatley station.
Do older homes in Goring have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Can I paint my asbestos garage roof instead?
Sometimes, if the roof is sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we’ll advise.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the sheets are wrapped and taken to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Tell us about parking and access
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
What to avoid
Don’t store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing. In December, it’s dark in Goring by about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.
