Asbestos garage roof removal in Kintbury
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Kintbury tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is usually the start of a new roof or conversion. Typical jobs include single and double garage roofs and storm-damaged sheets, involving ridge pieces, bargeboards and downpipes.
In areas like Kintbury, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What it might be made of
Fixings
The sheets are held on with bolts. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which is sometimes tested too.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Duty holders and landlords in Kintbury
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Kintbury questions
Do you cover Kintbury and the area around Kintbury station?
Yes, we cover Kintbury, including the streets around Kintbury station.
Do you cover Kintbury from London?
We cover Kintbury, about 59 miles from central London.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
My garage is in a row: can you still do it?
In most cases, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Photos help us check.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is my garage roof in Kintbury asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.

After the job
We clean the area around the garage and check for debris before we leave.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
- Give us a rough size
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
What to avoid
Keep children and pets away from broken pieces.
Do not store anything on the roof or lean ladders against brittle sheets.
Why people call us in Kintbury
Leaks often come from cracked sheets, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garage blocks
- Concrete-panel garages
Near open spaces such as Kintbury Newt Ponds, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Choosing the right option
Be wary of a price that is much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
