Asbestos garage roof removal in Leverton
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Leverton
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Leverton tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Taking it off is generally the start of a new roof or conversion. From broken sheets after high winds and double garages, we deal with cement wall panels, downpipes and bargeboards and more.
Rural garages near Leverton are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

How it works
We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards, never standing on the sheets themselves, because asbestos cement roofs are fragile. When we are done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows. Garage roof removal in Leverton is planned around daylight: sunset is about 4:00pm in December and about 9:25pm in June.
- Give us the size of the garage and the access
- We confirm the roof is asbestos cement, testing a sample if needed
- You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
- The sheets are damped, unfixed and lowered without breaking
- We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note
How to prepare
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Mention any parking restrictions

Choosing the right option

Typical garage roof jobs in Leverton
Garage roofs were often made of asbestos cement until 1999, so many garages across West Berkshire still have them.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Garages before a new roof or conversion
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Single garages
For rented homes with garages close to Hungerford station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
Questions to ask before booking
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What category of work it is
- What paperwork you get
- Any exclusions
What happens next
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
Some practical advice:
- File the waste paperwork
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
Things not to do
Never stand on the roof: it can break underfoot.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- The quantity or area

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. 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.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Leverton
Is asbestos common in Leverton homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Are garage roofs in Leverton usually asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They’re wrapped, labelled and taken to a permitted site by a registered waste carrier, with paperwork for your records.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
