Questions from Lawrence Hill
How far is Lawrence Hill from London?
Lawrence Hill is about 28 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Lawrence Hill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Lawrence Hill may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What’s the difference between a test and 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.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How dangerous is asbestos?
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.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.

Why people call us in Lawrence Hill
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so they’re common across Bracknell Forest.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Garages due a new roof
- Carport roofs
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Garages in a row or block
Near open spaces such as Holt Copse & Joel Park, some larger plots have more than one outbuilding, so it can make sense to do them at once.
What your quote should include
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- The method and controls
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
- Different materials need a different approach
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Cement wall panels
- Ridge pieces
- Bargeboards
- Corrugated cement sheets
- Roof felt
- Gutters and downpipes
- Fixings and bolts
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Wall panels
Prefabricated garages may have cement walls.
After the job
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- Let neighbours know beforehand
- Measure or estimate the size of the roof
- Keep pets and children inside
- Send photos of the whole garage and the access
Things not to do
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
