Asbestos garage roof removal for Hungerford properties
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they will not take a person’s weight. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include prefab garages with cement walls and brittle, leaking roofs, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and corrugated roof sheets.
In a smaller place like Hungerford, garages are often detached, with access along a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Hungerford
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you manage or own a block in Hungerford, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Afterwards
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Book your roofer in advance

Questions from Hungerford
Do older homes in Hungerford have asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Hungerford from London?
We cover Hungerford, about 62 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
Do I need a test or 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.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
How we work
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
