How asbestos garage roof removal works in Myrke
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you can’t be certain by looking. We often deal with cement wall panels, corrugated roof sheets and ridge pieces, and people usually contact us about brittle, leaking roofs and garages due a new roof.
Garages around Myrke may be bigger than in towns, so photos and sizes help us quote. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Materials, one by one
Ridge pieces
The ridge pieces are often the same material.
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Afterwards
We clear up and check for fragments before we leave.
Some practical advice:
- Tell neighbours if the garage is next to theirs
- Give us a rough size
- Photos of the garage and the way in help
- Plan the new roof before removal
Don’ts
Don’t climb onto or walk on an asbestos cement roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
If a sheet breaks in a storm, keep people away from the pieces and ask for advice.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Myrke
Cracked or broken sheets let water in, and repairs on old sheets rarely last long.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Garage conversions
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Sheet garages
For rented homes with garages close to Slough station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Questions from Myrke
Do you cover Myrke from London?
We cover Myrke, about 21 miles from central London.
Do you work near Slough station?
Yes, we cover Myrke and the area towards Slough station, about 0.9 miles north.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Most single garage roofs are a short job once the area is set up, though access and condition affect it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
The scope of garage roof removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- If the roof turns out not to be asbestos cement, the method may change
- Brick walls and slabs are a builder’s job
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
