About our asbestos garage roof removal in Greenham
Corrugated asbestos cement roofs are common on older garages, including around Greenham. We remove the sheets whole, damp and wrapped, and dispose of them at a permitted site, with a consignment note for your records. Typical materials include corrugated roof sheets, downpipes and cement gutters, and typical jobs are lean-tos and carports and broken sheets after high winds.
In places like Greenham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

Where asbestos turns up
Moss and lichen grow on old roofs and hold water, but cleaning them off by scrubbing or jet-washing disturbs the surface and releases fibres.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garages in a row or block
- Cracked, mossy or leaking roofs
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Double garages
If you let a house with a garage near Newbury Racecourse station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.

Greenham: your questions answered
Could my house in Greenham contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Greenham may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Greenham generally asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you take down the walls too?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
