How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mapledurham
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Typical materials include ridge pieces, bargeboards and corrugated roof sheets, and typical jobs are garages due a new roof and lean-to roofs.
In towns and villages like Mapledurham, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Mapledurham questions
Do you work near Tilehurst station?
Yes. Tilehurst station is about 1 mile south of Mapledurham, and we cover both.
How far is Mapledurham from London?
Mapledurham is about 41 miles from central London, well within our area.
How long will the job take?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, but access, size and condition make a difference.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Why people call us in Mapledurham

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mapledurham must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Which option is right?
Thinking of doing it yourself? HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to remove asbestos yourself, and there is a real risk of falling through the roof. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
