Asbestos garage roof removal for Great Hollands
Your questions about garage roof removal in Great Hollands
Do older homes in Great Hollands have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Great Hollands and the area around Bracknell station?
Yes, we cover Great Hollands and the area towards Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles north-east.
How long will the job take?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
Asbestos garage roof removal in Great Hollands
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, cement gutters and bargeboards, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and storm-damaged sheets.
In places like Great Hollands, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Materials, one by one
Corrugated sheets
Corrugated asbestos cement sheets are the main part of most garage roofs. They’re kept damp and lowered whole.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Weighing up your options
Very cheap garage roof quotes can mean shortcuts: breaking the sheets, skipping the controls or fly-tipping the waste. Always ask for the consignment note. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
