Asbestos garage roof removal near Hungerford
You cannot stand on an asbestos cement roof: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include garages in a row or block and garages before a new roof or conversion, involving downpipes, ridge pieces and bargeboards.
Garages around Hungerford may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Where asbestos turns up
Wind can break sheets and scatter pieces, which should be picked up by someone who knows how.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Block garages
- Single garages
- Garages due a new roof
Older houses in Hungerford, near Church of the Holy Ascension or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

Questions from Hungerford
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Do you cover small places like Hungerford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
After the job
Any other asbestos in the garage should be noted, or removed at the same time if you prefer.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Empty the garage, but leave the roof alone
- Tell us about parking and access
- Book your roofer in advance
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
Don’ts
Do not drill, cut or break the sheets.
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.

Choosing the right option

- If needed, we test a sample to confirm it’s asbestos cement
- We plan the job and the waste, and send a quote
- The sheets are wetted, unfixed and lowered without breaking
