Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Plaistow Green, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Here’s what garage roof removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Re-roofing is normally separate
- Shared garage blocks may need the owners’ agreement
- Removal in strong wind is postponed for safety
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Plaistow Green
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so many garages across Windsor and Maidenhead still have them.
These are some of the things we deal with in Plaistow Green:
- Concrete-panel garages
- Broken sheets after high winds
- Garages being knocked down
- Garages due a new roof
Properties near Virginia Water Lake may have outbuildings as well as a garage, so it can make sense to do them at once.
Before booking anyone
- The documents you will receive
- If the price includes VAT
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How fibres will be kept down
Which option is right?
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so your roofer works on a structure with the asbestos roof removed. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
What you get
- Clear advice on your options
- No removal until we know what it is
- Domestic and commercial work
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory

Plaistow Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Plaistow Green and the area around Ascot station?
Yes. Ascot station is about 2.1 miles south of Plaistow Green, and we cover both.
Are garage roofs in Plaistow Green normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you need a licence to remove an asbestos garage roof?
Generally not: HSE treats most asbestos cement sheet removal as non-licensed, but it still needs controls, training and legal disposal.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Normally, as long as we can work safely next to the others. Send photos and we will advise.
