FAQs for Priestwood
Are garage roofs in Priestwood normally asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Is asbestos common in Priestwood homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Priestwood may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Do you work in Priestwood?
Yes, we do: our area includes Priestwood and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
How asbestos garage roof removal works in Priestwood
Removal leaves the garage open to the weather, so plan the new roof before the removal date. Tell us your plans when you ask for a quote. Common materials are cement gutters, cement wall panels and ridge pieces, and people typically contact us about cracked, mossy or leaking roofs and single and double garage roofs.
In places like Priestwood, many garages are detached and reached by a drive, which makes roof removal straightforward to plan. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
If you manage or own a block in Priestwood, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
What we deal with in Priestwood
Converting or rebuilding a garage means removing the roof first.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Carport roofs
- Block garages
- Garages being knocked down

For rented homes with garages close to Bracknell station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

What it might be made of
Wall panels
These can be removed in the same way as the roof sheets.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.
How it works
After removal, we clean up and check for debris, then take the waste away. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first. Late-December sunset in Priestwood is about 3:55pm, so we start early on winter roof jobs.

- You get a written quote

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
