Asbestos garage roof removal for Pangbourne properties

Removing cement roof sheets is normally non-licensed work under HSE guidance, but it still needs the right controls: wetting, removal in whole sheets, protective equipment and proper disposal. People often contact us about concrete-panel garages and brittle, leaking roofs, including bargeboards, cement gutters and cement wall panels.

Homes in areas like Pangbourne often have a garage plus sheds or lean-tos with similar roofs, which can be removed together. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

  • Tell us about parking and access
  • Keep pets and children inside

What to avoid

What affects the price in Pangbourne

The biggest factors in the price are:

  • How many samples are needed
  • The type of material and its condition
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space
  • The category of work

The cost of garage roof removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.

What to photograph

The most useful photos are:

  • Street parking nearby
  • Damaged areas
  • Visible markings
  • A rough size or measurement

Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.

What happens

Once the sheets are off, we clean the area and check for fragments, then load the wrapped waste. The work area is kept clear while we are working. Late-December sunset in Pangbourne is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.

  1. Give us the size of the garage and the access
  2. We check the roof material first
  3. You get a written quote, and we agree a date that suits your new roof
  4. We wet the sheets, undo the fixings and lower each sheet whole
  5. We take the wrapped sheets away and send the consignment note

Preparing for the visit

  • Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away on the day
  • Make sure we can get to the area
