Looking after things afterwards
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed together.

Asbestos garage roof removal in Holme Green
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Pre-2000 grey sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. Whether it’s single garages and concrete-panel garages, we cover cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces and more.
In a village like Holme Green, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Where asbestos turns up
Years of weather wear the surface of the sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Old, cracked sheets
- Lean-tos and carports
- Concrete-panel garages
Across Holme Green, garages and outbuildings may date from before 2000, sometimes with cement sheet roofs.
Before you book anyone
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Whether VAT is included
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Common questions in Holme Green
Do you cover Holme Green and the area around Wokingham station?
Yes, we cover Holme Green and the area towards Wokingham station, about 1.6 miles north-west.
My garage in Holme Green has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Older garages often do, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you cover Holme Green?
Yes. We cover Holme Green and the surrounding area as part of Wokingham. Send us the postcode for a quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
