For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Riseley must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Common questions in Riseley
Do you work near Mortimer station?
Yes, we cover Riseley and the area towards Mortimer station, about 3.2 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Riseley homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Riseley may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you remove the whole garage?
Cement walls can come down the same way as the roof; brickwork and slabs need a builder.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Afterwards
The garage is left open to the weather until the new roof goes on, so plan your replacement roof in advance.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear the garage before the day, without touching the roof
- Tell us about parking and access
- Keep pets and children inside
- File the waste paperwork
Avoid these
Never stand on the roof: it’s fragile and won’t take your weight.
Don’t jet-wash, scrub or wire-brush the sheets.
What we deal with in Riseley
Corrugated asbestos cement was widely used for garage roofs until asbestos was banned in 1999, so they’re common across West Berkshire.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Sheet garages
- Garages due a new roof
- Garages in a row or block
- Carport roofs
If you’re a landlord with garages near Mortimer station, check what the roof is made of before arranging repairs.
Questions to ask before booking

DIY and asbestos
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.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
