About our asbestos garage roof removal in Padworth Common
Asbestos cement roofs are fragile: they can give way underfoot. We use the right access equipment, not the roof itself. Typical jobs include pieces of broken roof and garages in a row or block, involving ridge pieces, cement gutters and cement wall panels.
Rural garages near Padworth Common are often larger, or part of a range of outbuildings, so photos and sizes help us quote. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

What we deal with in Padworth Common
Garage conversions, extensions and new roofs mean the old roof has to come off.

- Old, cracked sheets
- Garages in a row or block
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Broken sheets after high winds
If you let a house with a garage near Aldermaston station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Helpful guides
Choosing the right option
Just the roof, or the whole garage? Cement walls come down the same careful way; other parts may need a builder or demolition contractor. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What you get
