Asbestos garage roof removal near Maidenhead
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Maidenhead
An old asbestos cement garage roof in Maidenhead tends to become brittle, mossy and leaky. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Typical materials include downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement wall panels, and people generally contact us about old, cracked sheets and roofs to clear before demolition.
Garage conversions are popular in towns like Maidenhead, and the roof is generally the first job. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

FAQs for Maidenhead
My garage in Maidenhead has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Could my house in Maidenhead contain asbestos?
If your home in Maidenhead was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
It depends on the size, access and the condition of the sheets, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brick walls and the base are a job for a builder or demolition contractor.
