Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

What else we do in Padworth
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A closer look at the materials
Corrugated sheets
The sheets are wrapped in heavy polythene for disposal.
Fixings
Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We undo them gently to avoid cracking.
Duty holders and landlords in Padworth
If you manage or own a block in Padworth, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Padworth must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Your questions about garage roof removal in Padworth
Do you come out to small villages like Padworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Padworth and the area around Aldermaston station?
Yes, we cover Padworth and the area towards Aldermaston station, about 1.2 miles north-west.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Typical garage roof jobs in Padworth
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across West Berkshire still have them.
In older properties, we often see:
- Single and double garage roofs
- Old, cracked sheets
- Storm-damaged sheets
- Roofs to clear before demolition
Properties near Hosehill Lake may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
