About our asbestos garage roof removal in Laddingford
HSE treats removing asbestos cement roof sheets as non-licensed work in most cases, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. Whether it’s prefab garages with cement walls and block garages, we cover bargeboards, cement wall panels and cement gutters.
In places like Laddingford, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Where asbestos turns up
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Single and double garage roofs
Older houses in Laddingford, near St Mary or elsewhere, may have garages or outbuildings added before 2000, often with cement roofs.

FAQs for Laddingford
Do older homes in Laddingford have asbestos?
If your home in Laddingford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Beltring station?
Yes. Beltring station is about 0.7 miles west of Laddingford, and we cover both.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is my garage roof in Laddingford asbestos?
If it’s grey corrugated sheeting on a garage built before 2000, it may be, but you can’t be sure by looking. We can test a sample.
Can the roof be overclad?
It can be done on a sound roof, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is the hard part. Pressure-washing and wire-brushing are out.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
In most cases, no: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Materials we deal with
Ridge pieces
Ridge cappings are usually asbestos cement too.
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which can contain asbestos in older products.
