Weighing up your options
Remove it or leave it? A sound roof with no work planned can be left and monitored; a cracked, leaking roof or a garage conversion means removal. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

FAQs for Priestwood
Do you cover small places like Priestwood?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Priestwood and the area around Sole Street station?
Yes. Sole Street station is about 1.9 miles north of Priestwood, and we cover both.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
How long will the job take?
Size, access and condition decide, but most single garages are a short job once set up.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How do I know if my garage roof is asbestos?
Pre-2000 grey corrugated sheeting often is, but only a test confirms it. We can test a sample.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Never jet-wash or wire-brush it.
Materials, one by one
Roof felt
You may find felt on the roof, which is sometimes tested too.
Gutters and downpipes
They’re removed whole where possible.
DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Common reasons for garage roof jobs in Priestwood
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, so they become brittle.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Brittle, leaking roofs
- Roofs to clear before demolition
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Garage blocks
If you’re a landlord with garages near Sole Street station, find out whether the roof is asbestos cement before repairs.
