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.
These come up again and again:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages due a new roof
- Lean-to roofs
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you are a landlord with garages near Kintbury station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

- How the work will be done, and the controls used

Weighing up your options
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.

For businesses and landlords in Inkpen Common
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
What affects the price in Inkpen Common
These are the main things that affect the price of garage roof removal:
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
- How much waste there is
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A clear close-up
- An idea of size
- Cracks or breaks
- Visible markings
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
