Choosing the right option
Removing the roof before a new one is fitted keeps the jobs separate, so the roofer starts on a clear structure. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Puttenham, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in Puttenham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What we deal with in Puttenham
Weather slowly breaks down the surface of cement sheets, making them brittle and more likely to crack.
These come up again and again:
- Pieces of broken roof
- Prefab garages with cement walls
- Lean-to roofs
- Garages due for demolition
If you’re a landlord with garages near Wanborough station, it’s worth knowing what the roof is before anyone works on it.

Materials, one by one

Hook bolts and fixings hold the sheets to the frame. We release them carefully so the sheets don’t crack.
Roof felt
Some garages have felt under or over the sheets, which can contain asbestos in older products.

The wrapped sheets go to a permitted site, and you receive the paperwork.
Staying safe afterwards:

- Book your roofer in advance

Things not to do
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
Never pressure-wash or brush the roof.
Questions from Puttenham
Do older homes in Puttenham have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Puttenham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
In most cases, no: HSE treats removing asbestos cement sheets as non-licensed work, though it still needs controls and legal disposal.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
