How asbestos garage roof removal works in Mongewell
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they won’t take a person’s weight. We work from ladders, stepladders, towers or crawling boards as the roof needs. Whether it’s single garages and brittle, leaking roofs, we cover cement gutters, downpipes and corrugated roof sheets.
In places like Mongewell, garages are often one of several outbuildings with cement roofs. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Mongewell
Do you come out to small villages like Mongewell?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
What happens to the old roof sheets?
They go to a permitted site, wrapped and labelled, with paperwork for your records.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work in Mongewell?
We do: our area includes Mongewell and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
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.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Should you do it yourself?
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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Mongewell, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
