Your questions about garage roof removal in Midgham
Do you cover Midgham from London?
Midgham is about 48 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you work near Midgham station?
Yes. Midgham station is about 1.2 miles east of Midgham, and we cover both.
Can you remove the whole garage?
We can remove cement wall panels too. Brickwork is a builder’s job.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Is my garage roof in Midgham asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.

DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Where asbestos turns up
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across West Berkshire still have them.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages in a row or block
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Single and double garage roofs
For rented homes with garages close to Midgham station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What isn’t included
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Which option is right?
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What you get
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Clear written quotes

What happens next

Once we’re done:
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep the consignment note afterwards
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
Don’ts
Do not climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and will not take your weight.
Keep weight off the roof.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
