What we deal with in Hook End

- Sheet garages
- Lean-tos and carports

For rented homes with garages close to Pangbourne station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

After the job
Without the roof, the garage is exposed, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Let us know where we can park
- Give us a rough size
Avoid these
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Responsibilities for owners
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Hook End
Do you cover small places like Hook End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Pangbourne station?
Yes. Pangbourne station is about 3.8 miles south-west of Hook End, and we cover both.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you work in Hook End?
Yes, Hook End is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
